The Plough Inn, Ealing | Full Time
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 The Plough
The Plough Inn is a vibrant, food-led pub in West London, with a chic retro style, loyal local following and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. We're busy, particularly around our live music and events, and we're proud of offering great food alongside a strong pub experience.
We're now looking for a Sous Chef to join our kitchen team, with live-in accommodation available. This is an opportunity for an experienced Sous Chef, or a strong CDP ready to take the next step, to become an important part of the kitchen leadership team at The Plough.
What you'll be doing
Working closely with our Head Chef, you'll help run the kitchen day to day and take full responsibility when they're away. You'll:
- Lead the kitchen team during busy services and help keep standards high
- Take pride in preparing fresh, seasonal food and maintaining consistency
- Support menu development and bring new ideas to the kitchen
- Help with ordering, prep, service and stock control
- Develop and support junior members of the team
- Make sure food safety, hygiene and kitchen standards are always maintained
- Help create a positive kitchen environment where people enjoy coming to work
- Take pride in every successful service
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.
What we're looking for
We're looking for someone who knows their way around a busy kitchen and enjoys being part of a team. You'll ideally have:
- Previous Sous Chef experience, or strong CDP experience ready for the next step
- Good food knowledge and a genuine passion for fresh food
- The confidence to lead a kitchen team and run a service
- Creativity and enthusiasm to bring new ideas to the menu
- Excellent communication skills
- A calm approach when the pressure is on
- A positive attitude and the ability to bring the best out of the team
- Good food safety awareness and a recognised hygiene qualification
We're not just looking for someone who can cook. We're looking for someone who wants to help make The Plough's kitchen a great place to work and a kitchen we're proud of.
