Sous Chef

The Blue Boar is about to begin an exciting new chapter — and we’re looking for an ambitious Sous Chef to be part of it. As part of a major investment programme across the Acorn Pubs estate, The Blue Boar will soon close for a significant refurbishment before reopening with a fresh new look and renewed ambition. This is a unique opportunity for a talented Sous Chef to join ahead of the relaunch and play a key role in building something special. Acorn Pubs is part of Brunning & Price, one of the UK’s most respected pub operators, renowned for creating exceptional pubs with character, quality food and drink, and outstanding hospitality. Located in the heart of Witney, The Blue Boar has long been a favourite with locals and visitors alike. Following a significant investment, the pub will reopen with an enhanced guest experience and an exciting opportunity to create a food offering that reflects the quality and standards Acorn Pubs is known for. We’re looking for a Sous Chef who brings energy, creativity and strong leadership to the kitchen. Someone who is passionate about fresh, seasonal cooking, takes pride in developing others, and wants to be part of creating a successful kitchen team from the very beginning. Working closely with the Head Chef, you’ll help shape menus, support the development of the brigade, maintain exceptional standards, and play a key role in delivering a memorable dining experience for every guest. This is much more than a traditional Sous Chef position. It’s an opportunity to join a major pub relaunch, influence kitchen culture, grow your career, and make your mark on a much-loved destination from day one. For a chef who thrives in a fast-paced environment, enjoys taking ownership, and wants to be part of an exciting new future for The Blue Boar, this is an exceptional opportunity.
