This is a balanced role across both service and production, ideal for a chef who enjoys the full craft — organised prep days, batch cooking and mise en place, as well as cooking confidently during busy services.

- Great Bermondsey Street location with real neighbourhood energy
What you’ll be doing
- Working across both service and production shifts
- Daily mise en place, batch prep and stock organisation
- Supporting lunch and evening services
- Maintaining high standards of quality and presentation
- Following HACCP, food safety and FIFO procedures
- Helping manage ordering, stock and waste control
What we’re looking for
- Sous Chef or strong Chef de Partie ready to step up
- Solid French and/or classical European cooking experience
- Confident on section during service
- Strong prep, knife skills and organisation
- Reliable, punctual and team-focused
- Flexible to work weekdays, weekends, mornings and evenings
- Comfortable with weekly rota variations depending on business needs
What you get
- £14.00 per hour + service charge
- 40 hours per week
- Staff meals on shift
