Kitchen Manager – Market House, Reading
Are you a kitchen boss who knows their FIFO from their HACCP and isn't afraid to get a little dirty (in a good way)? Market House is on the hunt for a Kitchen Manager to lead our crew of culinary legends. We’re all about  big flavours, messy hands, and good times -think loaded burgers, dirty fries, cheesy goodness, BBQ feasts and banging buffets, all made from  fresh, high-quality ingredients .
One night you might be cooking for a table of two, the next you’re smashing out a 200-cover party, and we want someone who thrives on that kind of chaos (the good kind).
Has led kitchen teams before (we don’t mind if it was 3 people or 30 - leadership is leadership).
Knows their way around  rota planning, food costings, GPs, stock control and menu design - but also knows how to make the team laugh during a busy Saturday night.
Lives and breathes  cleanliness and standards - if you don’t know what FIFO or HACCP stand for, this won’t be your jam.
Can lead by example, keep calm under pressure, and push the kitchen forward while having fun along the way.
Housed in a former bank, we’ve got 23 boutique hotel rooms , a  rooftop bar ,  private party spaces (including a roof top bar & terrace),  shuffleboards, ping pong, darts , a  karaoke booth , and a constant buzz of energy from opening to late night.
We’re proudly part of  Young’s Pubs , but we like to do things our own way - we work hard, play harder, and serve up serious vibes with seriously tasty food.
What we offer our Kitchen Managers:
~ Creative control –  design your own menus and daily specials
~ Access to  Young’s Apprenticeship Scheme and Leadership Development Programmes
~ Culinary masterclasses with topics like game, butchery, and shellfish
~ Food trips with our suppliers and regular  chef forums
~ Free meals on shift and a solid 20% discount across all Young’s pubs and hotels
~ Share Save Scheme & Enhanced Company Pension
~28 days holiday per year
~ A creative kitchen mind who can build and cost menus across a range of service types
Experience in stock-taking, rota-writing and keeping the kitchen tidy on paper as well as in person
Passion for  fresh food, bold flavours, and building a team that loves what they do
