Head Chef

We are a bold, award-winning business who pride ourselves in giving our chefs the freedom to create premium, seasonal menus that ‘wow’ our customers within an industry-leading environment. We run friendly, welcoming, and positive kitchens with high standards; always striving to be the best we can be.

We are looking for a Head Chef to join the family.

The Quarrymans Arms is a family-friendly, country pub and inn, located in picturesque Box Hill, Wiltshire, on the outskirts of Bath.

A haven for locals, walkers and cyclists alike, The Quarrymans enjoys breathtaking views over the Box Valley and a stunning beer garden for the warmer months, and is perfectly positioned for exploring the city of Bath, historic Corsham, and the Cotswolds.

On the menu it’s all about traditional pub food created with the finest seasonal and local produce, with award-winning pies and sausage rolls and the best Sunday roasts in the area. Behind the bar you’ll find a cracking range of Butcombe ale and craft beer, plus local cider and a great wine selection.

Join us for the warmest of welcomes, whether you’re passing by for a swift pint or staying in our beautiful bed and breakfast rooms.
