Job description

​Chef de Partie


Full-Time (37.5 hours/week, excluding breaks)

Are you ready to bring flair, focus, and flavour to the kitchen? We’re on the hunt for a talented Chef de Partie to take charge of their section and deliver standout dishes every time. You’ll be working alongside a passionate team under the guidance of our Head Chef and Sous Chefs, helping shape a food offering that’s fresh, seasonal, and seriously good.

What You’ll Do

  • Own your section — prep, cook, and plate dishes to top-tier standards.

  • Keep ingredients clean — no processed foods, additives, or major allergens in your space.

  • Help drive efficiency and minimise waste without compromising on quality.

  • Share dietary and allergen info daily so it’s clearly communicated to diners.

  • Keep your station — and the whole kitchen — spotless, safe, and compliant (HACCP, food safety, etc.).

  • Support junior chefs and step up for other sections when needed.

  • Build great relationships with your team, Front of House, and external suppliers.

  • Stay sharp — keep learning, adapting, and bringing fresh ideas to the pass.

What You Bring

  • Solid experience in a professional kitchen (ideally in a similar role).

  • A love for honest, fresh food — and doing things the right way.

  • Strong organisational skills and attention to detail.

  • A calm, positive attitude in a busy environment.

  • A clean, pressed uniform and pride in your presentation.

What’s on Offer

We believe great people deserve great rewards. Here’s what you can expect:

  • Competitive salary based on experience

  • 34 days’ holiday (incl. bank holidays)

  • Pension scheme (defined contribution)

  • Generous sick pay

  • Enhanced maternity/paternity leave

  • Healthcare cash plan

  • Free staff lunch when the kitchen’s open

  • Performance bonus (non-contractual)

  • Cycle to Work Scheme

  • On-site parking

  • Ongoing training and development

Sound like your next move?

Step into a kitchen that values creativity, teamwork, and quality above all. We’d love to hear from you.
