Our Group

At Ardent Pub Group, everything starts with people. Whether you’re walking into one of our pubs or joining our team, you’ll be met with genuine warmth. We build pubs that are rooted in their communities, driven by purpose and built to last.

We operate three acclaimed pubs - The George (Fitzrovia), The Cadogan Arms (Chelsea), and The Hound (Chiswick) - each rooted in tradition but full of fresh energy. Named Food-Led Pub Group of the Year at the 2024 R200 Awards, with The Cadogan Arms and The George both featured in the Top 100 Gastropubs list, we’ve also won the 2026 Best Premium Food Offer at The Publican Awards - cementing our reputation for leading the way in exceptional pub dining.

As hospitality’s highest-scoring B-Corp certified company, we’re committed to doing business the right way - balancing exceptional guest experiences with meaningful social and environmental impact. Our culture is just as important as our performance, which is why we’re proud to be recognised in CODE Hospitality’s Happiest Places to Work 2025.

Our mission is to deliver the gold standard of public houses - where quality food, drink, and service create exceptional experiences. If that resonates, we’d love to hear from you.

The Position

We’re looking for an experienced Chef de Partie to join our kitchen team at The George, creating exceptional dishes and delivering outstanding guest experiences. You’ll work in a quality kitchen, following standard operating procedures and Health & Safety guidelines, while sharing our passion for pubs, food, and hospitality.

The ideal candidate will have:

Previous experience as a Chef de Partie in a fast-paced, quality pub or restaurant
A hands-on, proactive attitude with a willingness to roll up your sleeves
Creativity and exceptional attention to detail
Passion for food and hospitality, with a desire to learn and develop
Ambition to grow your career within an award-winning pub group

A typical working week may look like 5 working days, including 3 single shifts and 2 double shifts. As with most roles in hospitality, shift patterns may vary depending on business needs.

If you’re driven by quality cooking and enjoy working in a busy, dynamic pub kitchen, we’d love to hear from you.

Our commitment to Equity, Diversity and Inclusion

At Ardent Pub Group, the greatest welcome isn’t just something we give to our guests — it’s something we extend to everyone who walks through our doors. Our pubs are built on warmth, character and community, and that only works when the people who make them thrive feel respected, valued and able to be themselves.

We believe that a diverse team makes for a better pub: richer ideas, better problem-solving, more creativity and a stronger connection to the communities we serve. Inclusion isn’t an initiative for us — it’s part of how we operate every day.
