The Pilgrim at Marchwood holds the current record for being the most friendly and fun venue to work at in 2021.... so we believe that if this record actually existed, we would at least be finalists for sure! 

Set on the edge of The New Forest National Park and just one mile from the coast of Southampton Water that leads to The Solent, The Pilgrim boasts a separate 14 bedroom boutique hotel that compliments the traditional pub and restaurant in the main building. Two really beautiful thatched buildings that ooze charm and tradition are a popular spot for locals from Marchwood and neighbouring Hythe as well as visitors to the area. 

"Team Pilgrim" manage to mix a blend of hard work, a sense of pride and duty, with fun, personality and plenty of reward and recognition!

COULD YOU LEAD THE TEAM THROUGH SUCCESSFUL SERVICE?

As our new Head Chef, you’ll lead our kitchen team in the creation of fabulous, fresh dishes that you and your Executive Chef have developed to suit your customers.  

You’ll be working with seasonal, local and regional ingredients, in a well-equipped kitchen – within a company that really understands the importance of getting food right.

• Work for a company that shares your passion for food
• Discounts across all Fuller's pubs - 25% discount off food and drink for you and your party
• Discounted Hotel stays
• Access to our Reward Gateway which offers discounts/cashback on high street stores, cheap cinema tickets and more

Being Head Chef is a real challenge, so you can count on the full support of a team of Executive Chefs and our support teams at the Brewery to help you to develop your business.

Looking after the kitchen however is your domain. You’ll lead your team expertly through service, and you’ll take full control in the delivery of the food side of the business. We encourage our chefs to bring fresh ideas to the menu that suit the pub and its’ customers..

That means you’ll need a commercial head, as well as exceptional cooking skills. You’ll also be a great communicator, calm under pressure, and you’ll be driven by a shared vision of success and a company that will give you the tools to do so.

But most importantly, you’ll show real passion for fresh food. At Fuller’s, we’re determined to do pub food differently –this is your chance to be part of something unique.
