We have a lovely Head Chef role just become available for a site based in Central London. This would be an ideal role for a Sous Chef or Senior Sous Chef looking to step up into a 1st Head Chef role. 


You will manage a KP and have the support of Company Support Chefs who work when required on events and functions, The salary is starting at £40,000 for a 40 Hour week with any additional hours taken as Lieu. 


Core Hours will be Monday to Friday from 7am to 3.30pm however flexibility is required for evening and events. That said the current head chef manages to get out at 2.30/3pm on quieter days. There may be a very occasional weekend shift but this will be very infrequent. 


Catering on a daily basis for events and functions and doing anything from 5 covers to 250 for a canape or buffet event. Sourcing and using sustainable and seasonal British ingredients you will produce good quality dishes that will need to be plated to the highest standard.

The business levels in this role fluctuate during the year so some weeks you may have 3/4 events and other weeks you will have no events. So you may do a few evenings in a week and then if there are no functions on a Friday you could take the day off.

This site opens for 9 months of the year so you will also get the opportunity to work at some other lovely sites in the City as well for parts of the year,
