Experienced HEAD CHEF
Mediterranean & Italian Brunch / À La Carte Concept
Richmond, London
We are currently searching for a highly experienced Head Chef to lead the kitchen of an ambitious and growing hospitality concept in Richmond.
This is not a standard pub kitchen role.
We are looking for a serious chef with strong Mediterranean and Italian experience, capable of delivering high quality breakfast, brunch and refined à la carte dining at consistently high standards.
Our food direction combines:
- elevated Mediterranean cuisine
- premium brunch and breakfast
- fresh seafood and grill dishes
- elegant sharing plates
- modern Italian influences
- commercially successful but beautifully executed food
The ideal candidate will have:
- strong experience within respected Mediterranean or Italian kitchens
- excellent breakfast and brunch knowledge
- confident à la carte and high-volume service experience
- strong leadership and organisational skills
- calm, professional kitchen presence
- creativity balanced with consistency
- excellent attention to detail and presentation
- stable long-term employment history
We are not looking for:
- trend-driven “Instagram chefs”
- candidates with constant short-term job hopping
- basic pub-food background only
- inexperienced junior chefs applying above their level
We value:
Elegant food without unnecessary complication.
Premium quality without ego.
Creativity with consistency.
This is a genuine opportunity for a chef who wants to help shape a long-term project with strong standards, creative input and future growth potential.
Important:
At present, we are unfortunately unable to offer visa sponsorship.
Applications requesting sponsorship only will not be considered.
Please apply only if you have relevant experience and genuinely feel aligned with the level and direction of the project.
