Join Fuller’s: Where the true you thrives and diversity is embraced
At Fuller’s we don't just offer jobs, we invite you to celebrate your authentic self. Our four core values – doing things the right way, being part of the family, celebrating individuality and always asking what’s next? – define the essence of who we are.
About Us
At the Plough, we are proud to be more than just an award-winning pub. Blending the charm of a traditional English country pub with stylish interiors, seasonal food, and vibrant outdoor space. The Plough has built a reputation for quality, creativity and genuine hospitality.
We are now looking for a Head Chef to continue the fantastic work of our current leader, whose own journey reflects the culture we have built here – starting as a Kitchen Assistant nine years ago before progressing through our apprenticeship programme into the Head Chef role. Development is something we truly believe in at The Plough. With apprentices currently in the team and plans to grow this further, we are looking for someone passionate about mentoring and developing junior chefs while continuing to grow themselves.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.

The right person will bring strong leadership, creativity and adaptability to fast-paced kitchen, while helping maintain the supportive and inspiring environments that makes The Plough special. We are incredibly proud to have team members who have stayed with us for many years, and we believe that comes from creating a kitchen culture where people feel valued, challenged and encouraged to thrive.
