Chef

As a part-time chef at the The Old Market Tavern, you will master our menu, with your food being the reason guests keep coming through our doors! You’ll thrive off the hustle and bustle of a fast-paced kitchen, pulling together as a team, because it’s the people that make it all worthwhile.

Join us at Oaktree Pubs. From breakfast to big nights out, our teams are the local legends. The atmosphere is electric, the food hearty, and the drinks always flowing. So, if you’re up for the party, we want to hear from you.
