Become a chef at Fuller's

Quality ingredients transformed by our diverse team of driven chefs into food that nourishes the soul. We have a few core classic dishes that our customers love but apart from that our chefs have control over their menus and access to some of the best quality ingredients through our suppliers. We want our chefs to create a unique offer that reflects them and their teams. Food is at the heart of everything we do so from Kitchen Assistants to Head Chefs we'll always support your development and passion for food.

At Fuller’s, we have structured our Back of House learning and development programmes so you can grow your own way. If you want to learn more, take more responsibility and progress at pace, then we’ll support you all the way, giving you options and opportunities when you need them.

Head Chef

As a Head Chef, you’ll lead our kitchen team in the creation of fabulous, fresh dishes – using your culinary magic to give customers a special pub-dining experience. We encourage our chefs to implement new cooking techniques whilst providing our customers with a traditional foundation of great pub classics. 

Sous Chef 

As deputy to the Head Chef, you’ll take full control of the kitchen when they’re away. It’s a great opportunity to make a real impact and prove yourself ready to step up to the Head Chef role. You’ll need to be a talented chef with a passion for fresh food and a love of kitchen camaraderie. You’ll be able to bring the best out in others – and you’ll take immense pride in every successful service.

Chef de Partie

As a Chef de Partie you will take pride in preparing delicious dishes along with a team of other talented, supportive experienced chefs, driven by your love of food. We will offer you training and support to gain your hygiene qualifications and build your knowledge of food, but you’ll need people skills too. Chef De Partie is responsible for the junior roles in the kitchen - giving you a great chance to develop the leadership tendencies you need to advance your catering career. 

Commis Chef

As a Commis Chef, you’ll largely be preparing ingredients to help the senior chefs work their magic. It’s a great way to develop your career, allowing you to hone your talent and learn from the best while making a great contribution to the success of the kitchen. You won’t be expected to have exceptional food knowledge just yet, but it’s crucial you have basic cookery skills and share our passion for food.

Kitchen Assistant

Join us as a Kitchen Assistant, and you’ll be the person who keeps the wheels turning in our busy kitchen. You’ll keep it clean; you’ll keep it safe - and you’ll protect the space in which the chefs can create their magic. If you’ve never worked in a professional kitchen before, don’t worry. For this role, personality and potential are more important than skills and experience.

Roaming Chefs

At Fuller’s we have our very own in-house roaming chef team. These chefs help our kitchen teams with short-term cover such as holidays whilst still receiving the benefits of a Fuller’s employee. Being a roaming chef is all about flexibility and variety, you’ll always be working in a different one of our businesses (truly no two days are the same) whilst on a contract that is more flexible around your life. You’ll work with different menus, always great quality ingredients, and many of our amazing chefs to create food that nourishes the soul.
