Birmingham. A City that has always known how to make things: with its hands, with care, with an unmistakable sense of identity. A City that doesn't follow, that does things its own way. This Autumn, Sticks'n'Sushi is coming to Birmingham - our first restaurant in the Midlands, opening in the Paradise development on Chamberlain Square.
Sticks’n’Sushi is as unique as the city we're coming to. We serve high-quality, fresh food based on a unique combination of classic and creative sushi along with sticks from the grill, created by our 'Strange Fish'. We are looking for a Grill Chef to join our kitchen team. This role is for a chef who takes pride in their work, enjoys working in a busy kitchen, passionate about grilling and presenting the very best kushiyaki sticks caring about quality, teamwork, and consistency.
