Cheshire pub advertising for chef says 'snowflakes' need not apply after 'flaky' employees

A pub in Cheshire looking for a new chef says 'snowflakes' should not apply - after struggling with 'flaky' employees.

The Queen Anne boozer, in Warrington, has placed a blackboard outside their pub saying: "Chef wanted. Please ask inside for details. No snowflakes please!!"

The pub describe themselves as "a small family run free house in the north of England that prides ourselves in serving good beer and great food."

They have also attached a photo of the blackboard on Facebook with the words: "We are still looking for chefs to join our busy kitchen team.

"So if you want to be involved with serving and making the best homemade food that golborne (Sic) has to offer, are hardworking and not a snowflake pop in and have a chat with us or drop us a message."

The advert seemed to have split opinion, with one user enthusiastically commenting: "Snowflakes are taking over the world."

Another seemed more miffed at the sign and grumbled: "I genuinely hope you find no one."

One person asked: "Still looking cause they're all snowflakes?". While a different user asked for clarity, saying: "Please define your snowflake."

But Landlord, Christopher Darnbrough said they are simply looking for a hard worker: "Since the lockdown we have had a lot of flaky people who don't want to work and just breeze in and out and are constantly wanting time off, he says.

"Most people have seen the funny side."
