Great pubs and restaurants need great leaders, that’s where you come in!  

When you become Head Chef in Training, you’ll learn how to build a kitchen to be proud of the ‘Mitchells and Butlers’ way. You’ll lead your team to thrive whatever the shift throws at them (not literally!). You'll be ready to go in no time. Most of our Head Chefs in Training are behind the pass of their own kitchen within 6 months.

As a Head Chef in Training, you’ll need to be geographically flexible to travel around the district, be able to drive and have access to your own vehicle.
