Sous Chef

The Blue Ball Inn is set amongst rolling hills on the edge of Exmoor. Parts of the building date back to the 13th century, with low beamed ceilings and stone fireplaces oozing a characterful, old-world charm.

You’ll work in a traditional coaching inn, nestled within an all-year-round South West destination. It’s a perfect base for rural and coastal walks, with some of Britain’s finest landscapes on the doorstep.
