Do you have a passion for cooking with fresh, locally sourced ingredients? Do you want to work in some of the most sought after locations in the South West? Why not get first hand chef experience while you learn and apply for a Chef Scholarship with St Austell Brewery - with over 160 years of Cornish heritage, we can provide you with a vibrant and fruitful career in the Hospitality Industry. St Austell Brewery is a family business and as well as brewing beer we are passionate about the food we serve in our pubs, bars, hotels, restaurants and Inns.



We are now looking for our next intake of Chef Scholars which will provide a unique opportunity for anyone wishing to start a career as a chef.

As a Chef Scholar, you will undertake a 15-month Commis Chef Apprenticeship where you will work with other chefs to learn and practice new skills which are required to become an established and qualified chef.



During your apprenticeship, you will develop knowledge, behaviours and skills through both college based workshops and practical experience as part of our commercial kitchen teams. The college workshops are an essential part of your development and you will be responsible for your attendance one day a week. In the workplace, you will be responsible for recording your onsite training and practice and sharing this with your college liaison and allocated Learning & Development Trainer.




  • As a Chef Scholar, you will be working with local fresh produce and play a practical role preparing and cooking dishes to a high standard

  • You will gain an understanding of how to use ingredients to the best of their potential

  • Learn how to manage stock and waste in day to day service
