Mobile App Developer

At Brunning & Price, we run characterful pubs in beautiful locations, serving great food and creating welcoming spaces for our guests. Behind every smooth service and successful team is thoughtful organisation — and increasingly, the right technology to support it.

We’re looking for a talented and practical Mobile Developer to join us on a 1-year fixed-term contract, with the potential to move into a permanent role as our digital capability continues to grow.

This is a full-time position (37.5 hours per week, 5 days per week) with hybrid working available after initially being full-time at the Chester Office.

This isn’t about building a product for market—it's about creating reliable, well-designed internal tools that genuinely make life easier for our pub teams and head office colleagues.

The Role

As our Mobile Developer, you’ll play a key role in developing and enhancing a suite of internal mobile applications that support daily operations, communication, and efficiency across the business.

You’ll contribute to architectural decisions while taking ownership of feature development, testing, and continuous improvement. Your work will have direct and visible impact across our pubs.

Designing and developing core features and modules
