Sous Chef
Quality Italian Restaurant, London
Salary: Up to £60,000
We are working with a highly regarded Italian restaurant in London, known for quality ingredients, seasonal cooking, and a focused approach to modern Italian food.
Due to internal promotions, the team are now looking for a Sous Chef to support the Head Chef and help lead the kitchen through its next stage.
This is a busy, produce-led restaurant with a daily changing menu and strong standards across both lunch and dinner service. The restaurant has a relaxed style, but the food, execution, and consistency are taken seriously.
The Role
As Sous Chef, you will work closely with the Head Chef to support the day-to-day running of the kitchen.
You will help lead service, support the team, maintain standards, and ensure the kitchen continues to deliver consistent, quality food in a busy environment.
The menu changes daily, with produce changing regularly, so this role would suit a chef who is adaptable, organised, and confident working with fresh seasonal ingredients.
The Ideal Candidate
The strongest fit would be a Sous Chef or strong Junior Sous Chef from a quality-focused background, such as:
- Fine dining restaurants
- Boutique restaurants
- Modern Italian restaurants
- Produce-led kitchens
- Small, busy, chef-led restaurants
This role would suit someone who takes pride in their craft, enjoys working with quality ingredients, and wants to take on more responsibility within a serious food-led environment.
The Kitchen
- Close-knit kitchen team
- Lunch and dinner service
- Walk-ins only
- Daily changing menu
- Seasonal produce
- Strong focus on quality ingredients
- Calm, professional kitchen culture
- No egos
What We Are Looking For
- Sous Chef or strong Junior Sous Chef experience
- Confident pan section or hot side experience
- A background in quality-led restaurants
- Strong organisation during busy service
- Ability to support and develop junior chefs
- Interest in Italian food and seasonal produce
- Calm, team-focused leadership style
- Willingness to learn and develop
- Genuine interest in food and ingredients
This is a strong opportunity for a Sous Chef who wants to join a respected Italian restaurant with a clear focus on seasonal cooking, quality produce, and proper kitchen craft.
