About The Railway Inn

The Railway Inn is a charming country inn nestled in the rolling Somerset countryside, just 10 miles south of Bristol. Serving in a selection of formal, informal, and outdoor areas. Our aim is simple: to provide high-quality food, exceptional service, and great value, all while embodying the ethos of Thatchers Cider Company.

What will I be doing?

As Chef de Partie, you will run a designated section of the kitchen and support the Head Chef and Sous Chef in delivering a consistent, high-quality food offer.

Responsibilities:

  • Take ownership of your section during prep and service, ensuring quality, consistency, and pace throughout.
  • Prepare, cook, and present dishes to the agreed standard, supporting an imaginative and high-quality offer delivered consistently each day.
  • Maintain excellent organisation and communication with other sections to ensure smooth service across restaurant, bar, and outdoor areas.
  • Maintain accurate stock levels on your section: correct receiving, storage, labelling/date coding, rotation, and reporting of shortages or quality issues.
  • Help manage food cost control through correct portioning, efficient use of ingredients, and waste reduction.
  • Maintain the kitchen to the highest standards of cleanliness and safety, meeting legislative requirements and internal standards.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
