WE ARE HIRING A HEAD CHEF!
As you probably saw last week, we will be sadly losing our head chef of 6 years in January of next year. We are now on the lookout for the next individual to lead our kitchen team into the next era of The Three Horseshoes and The Coffee Shed.
You'll be joining an award-winning, family-run business and have the opportunity to put your stamp on what our regulars and new guests love. If you think you fancy joining a team of enthusiastic hospitality professionals that strive for excellence in a relaxed, country pub setting - drop us a dm or send us an email with your CV as we would love to meet you.
A link of the full job description is in the bio.

After an incredible journey with us, our Head Chef Josh has decided that the time is right to move on to a new chapter. Josh will remain with us until January 2027, giving us plenty of time to celebrate everything he has achieved here.
Josh has been part of The Three Horseshoes story from the very beginning, joining us pre-opening as Sous Chef, before being promoted to Head Chef in late 2021. Since then, he has played a huge part in shaping the food, the kitchen and the team we are so proud of today.
With Josh leading the kitchen, we have achieved some very special milestones, including our Michelin Bib Gourmand and 3 AA Rosettes. More importantly, he has helped build an amazing team and a kitchen culture that will continue to drive us forward.
His main priority now is to spend more time with his young family and explore what the next adventure might look like, possibly away from hospitality. We are incredibly grateful for everything Josh has given to The Three Horseshoes and wish him, and his family, every happiness for the future.
As one chapter closes, another begins. We are now looking for our next Head Chef to join us in January 2027: someone with ambition, creativity and leadership to take the business forward while staying true to what makes The Three Horseshoes special. If you are ready to lead the kitchen of a family-run, country pub and restaurant with a Michelin Bib Gourmand, 3 AA Rosettes and an exciting future ahead, we would love to hear from you.
To apply, or to find out more, please get in touch with us directly.
