Exciting Relaunch Opportunity at The White Hart, Castle Combe
At Wadworth, we're all about Real Brewing, Real Pubs, Real People and Real Impact. As a family business with over 150 years of heritage, we take pride in creating exceptional pub experiences and investing in the people who make them happen.
We're looking for an ambitious and talented Head Chef to lead the kitchen at The White Hart, Castle Combe as we embark on an exciting new chapter following significant investment in the pub and kitchen operation.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
The White Hart is a beautiful Grade II listed 14th-century pub located in one of the UK's most picturesque villages. Combining historic charm with an exciting programme of investment and development, this is a fantastic opportunity for a Head Chef to make their mark, shape the food offering and be part of the pub's next phase of growth.
- Potential live-in accommodation is available, making this an ideal opportunity for candidates looking to relocate or reduce their commute while enjoying life in one of the country's most sought-after locations.
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.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.

- 25% discount on food, drink and accommodation across the Wadworth estate
