Chef – Cook Up a Career with Britain’s Oldest Brewer!
At Shepherd Neame, we know that great food is at the heart of a memorable experience.

This is a fantastic opportunity to showcase your skills and progress your culinary career.
Where You’ll Be Working
Set in the heart of Canterbury, the Shakespeare is located in a quaint cobbled street in the centre of the city. With the pub close to Canterbury Cathedral it’s a great place to seek out dinner and drinks after a day on the tourist trail. The adjoining wine bar opens onto the Buttermarket square opposite the Cathedral’s main entrance. You can enjoy traditional British classics, Kentish gourmet burgers and artisanal sharing boards, alongside ales and lagers brewed just 10 miles away by Shepherd Neame in Faversham.
What You’ll Do
- Prepare and cook dishes to company standards, ensuring quality and consistency.
- Work collaboratively with the kitchen team to maintain smooth service during busy periods.
- Uphold hygiene, safety, and compliance standards at all times.
- Assist with stock control, ordering, and kitchen organisation.
- Support and mentor junior team members, helping them develop their skills.
What’s In It For You?
- Competitive hourly pay plus a share of tips
- Early wage withdrawal scheme
- 25% discount on food and drink at Shepherd Neame Managed Houses
- 25% discount on overnight stays at Managed House Hotels
- Up to 40% off select purchases from our Visitor Centre Shop in Faversham
- Exclusive discounts via Sheps Hut on hundreds of high street brands
- Access to a Workplace Mental Health Platform
- Company pension plan
- Career development opportunities across our pubs, Brewery, and Support Office
- Flexible working hours to suit your lifestyle
What You’ll Need
We’re looking for behaviours that make a great Chef:
- Pride and Passion – you care about quality and presentation.
- Sheps Spirit – you bring enthusiasm and a passion for food.
- Authenticity – you stay calm and proactive when things get busy.
- Working Together – you enjoy working collaboratively and supporting colleagues.
Why Shepherd Neame?
Our culture is built on Sheps Spirit, Working Together, Pride and Passion, and Authenticity—values that have guided us for over 300 years. When you join us, you become part of a team that celebrates tradition while shaping the future.
Ready to bring your personality and passion to the kitchen?
