The Salisbury Hotel is on the hunt for an experienced Chef or Cook to join our busy, no-nonsense kitchen.

You love honest pub food done properly — fresh ingredients, solid technique, and plates that look as good as they taste. You know how to turn out a cracking Schnitty, Salt & Pepper Squid, and consistent crowd-pleasers, even when the docket rail is full.

This is a casual role offering 25+ hours per week, with evenings and weekends essential.

What you’ll bring:

• Minimum 3 years’ experience in a fast-paced pub or Western kitchen (essential)

• Strong, modern cooking skills with an eye for presentation

• Solid knowledge of food trends, quality ingredients, and classic pub execution

• A calm, organised approach — even under pressure

• Excellent communication and teamwork with front-of-house

• Strong understanding of food safety, allergen management, and WHS

• Confidence managing portion control, waste, stock, and food costs

• Pride in delivering consistent, high-quality food every service

You’re comfortable working autonomously when needed, but you’re also a team player who lifts the people around you.
