Job Details

We are very excited to announce the eagerly awaited re-opening of our beautiful restaurant and pub, The Muddy Duck in Hethe, Bicester.

We are on the hunt for an experienced, dynamic, confident and inspiring Commis Chef Apprentice to join our chef brigade at our highly regarded pub/restaurant working closely with one of the most respected names in the restaurant world, Pierre Koffmann.

In 1977 Pierre opened his first restaurant, La Tante Claire, in Royal Hospital Road, Chelsea. Within six years they had achieved the maximum accolade you can receive in the culinary world, making him one of only a few chefs in the United Kingdom to have done so.

The number of Britain's top chefs who have trained under Pierre Koffmann is truly incredible - Tom Aikens, Gordon Ramsay, Marco Pierre White, Jason Atherton and more recently, Ben Murphy and Luciano Pierre White, to name but a few. His protégés are now regarded as some of the best chefs in the kitchens of the country.
