Kitchen Assistant

About us;

Welcome to the Griffin Inn; the light of the picturesque Fletching village. Nestled in a secluded corner of the verdant East Sussex countryside and overlooking, what we affectionately coined, the Sussex Serengeti, our quaint country pub is a charming and characterful nod to the heritage of traditional English pubs. With a history steeped in fame and having catered to our fair share of the rich and famous over the years we've got customer hospitality down to a fine art. Boasting a large indoor area, a Mediterranean-style patio space and one of the largest and most beautiful pub gardens in all of Sussex, we are uniquely poised to offer one of the best all-round dining experiences.

Being a part of our Griffin team means constantly pushing the boundaries of what we can offer our clientele. With an innovative and locally sourced menu we're passionate about delivering creative and astounding dishes that both excite and amaze all those who eat them; focusing our efforts on the use of high-quality, fresh and seasonal ingredients to achieve these ends. 

To join our kitchen, we're looking for a hungry chef; someone passionate with a keen eye for detail who values skill and progression in both their ability and position. Joining us would mean becoming part of a dedicated and supportive team who celebrate and champion a genuine love for food, combining traditional and modern British cuisine. Creativity and input is encouraged with a strong foundation in quality, consistency, presentation and efficiency all being a must.

Our well-respected kitchen set within a stunning and inspiring rural location is an excellent place for any budding chef to make and leave their culinary mark. If you think exceptional is something you can offer us, we'd love to hear from you!
