About us

The Rose & Crown is a traditional British pub with rooms, located in the heart of Wimbledon Village, where the atmosphere feels much more like a country village than central London.

It has 13 bedrooms and focuses on traditional British hospitality, with classic homemade food prepared from scratch. The pub has that genuine, welcoming character you would expect from a traditional British local, while also serving visitors and guests staying in the rooms.

One of the things that makes the location quite unique is that Wimbledon Village is surrounded by the countryside and Wimbledon Common, but it is still very well connected to central London. The District line and mainline services from Waterloo make it accessible, although the famous steep hill up to the Village gives it a distinctive feel.

We are looking for an existing Sous Chef or Senior CDP looking for their next step, who considers themselves as a natural leader with a passion and flare for producing quality fresh food in an environment that makes people feel welcome. As the successful Sous Chef you will:

• Have experience championing excellent service through quality food
• Demonstrate a passion for leading and developing a team
• Be an active hands-on Chef with excellent communication skills
• Be responsible and able to manage the kitchen staff rota, training and all health and safety effectively at all times
• Working alongside your Head Chef, you will be able to demonstrate your creativity and ability by helping to design and deliver new dishes for our menus and daily specials
• Demonstrate great planning and organisational skills, necessary to maintain effective controls with regard to both GP and labour
• Have a pro-active approach to driving sales and delivering growth, through engagement with both kitchen and front of house teams

Thanks for your interest in working with Young's. If you would like to be part of our team,
