Part-Time Chef de Partie
Shrub is an award winning, AA Rosette level, fully plant-based restaurant serving bold, seasonal small plates inspired by Middle Eastern, Mediterranean and Asian cuisines.
Alongside our mezze-style menu, we serve our award-winning roast, on Sunday.
We've built a strong brigade of chefs who take pride in cooking exceptional food, working hard and constantly improving. We're now looking for a talented Part-Time Chef de Partie to join the team. Someone who already has a solid foundation in the kitchen and wants to continue developing their skills in one of the UK's leading plant-based restaurants.
Whether or not you've worked with plant-based food before, this is an opportunity to learn a different approach to flavour, technique and seasonal cooking. Attitude, curiosity and cooking ability matter far more than previous vegan experience.
The Role
As Chef de Partie, you'll:
- Take ownership of your section during prep and service.
- Work closely with the senior chefs to deliver consistently high standards.
- Support and encourage junior members of the brigade.
- Help maintain a clean, organised and professional kitchen.
- Contribute to a positive, hardworking team culture.
What We're Looking For
- Previous experience as a Chef de Partie or a strong Commis Chef ready to step up.
- A genuine passion for cooking and learning.
- A strong work ethic and excellent attention to detail.
- Calm under pressure with a positive attitude.
- Reliability and pride in your work.
What We Offer
- The opportunity to work in an AA Rosette kitchen producing high-quality, seasonal food.
- A supportive brigade that genuinely enjoys working together.
- Ongoing training and opportunities to develop and progress.
- Competitive hourly pay above National Minimum Wage.
- Tips averaging £2–£4 per hour, plus a share of service charge.
- Staff meals on shift.
Working Pattern
- Part-time hours (to be agreed).
- A mixture of double shifts and AM/PM shifts.
- Weekend availability is essential.
- Flexible rota patterns considered where possible.
