A brand new opening. A fresh brigade. A kitchen to help shape from day one.
We are opening Alto at Locke Canary Wharf, and we are building our kitchen team from the ground up. Headed up by the brilliant Chris Dargavel, Alto is a brand new restaurant in one of London's most dynamic districts, and we are looking for talented chefs at every level to join the founding brigade.
This isn't a role where you slot into an established kitchen. As a new opening, you will be there from the very beginning, helping to shape the standards, the culture, and the food from the first service. If you take real pride in your craft and want to help build something from scratch, we want to hear from you.
White Rabbit Hospitality is built on a love of proper hospitality and seriously good food. Alto will be no different.
Our Values, In Every Service:
- HOSPITALITY IS AT OUR CORE – You know every dish that leaves your section shapes a guest's experience.
- WE DO THE RIGHT THING – You never cut corners on hygiene, safety, or quality, whoever is watching.
- WE PURSUE EXCELLENCE – You take pride in consistency, precision, and a section that runs flawlessly.
- WE ARE ALL ENTREPRENEURS – You watch waste, manage stock, and take ownership of your part of the kitchen.
What Will You Be Doing?
- Helping to launch a brand new kitchen and get it running from day one
- Preparing and cooking dishes to a consistently high standard
- Running your section confidently during a busy service
- Supporting the wider brigade and stepping up wherever needed
- Maintaining strict food safety, hygiene, and health and safety standards
- Supporting stock control, ordering, and the reduction of waste
- Helping to build a positive, high-energy kitchen culture from the start
What Do You Need?
- Experience in a professional kitchen at your level, from Commis through to Chef de Partie and beyond
- Solid cooking skills and a genuine passion for great food
- The ability to work calmly and confidently under pressure
- A team-first attitude and the energy for an exciting new opening
- A good understanding of food safety and health and safety standards
- Reliability, drive, and real pride in your craft
- The Right to Work in the UK
What We Offer:
- A competitive salary, dependent on experience and level
- The chance to be part of an exciting new opening from day one
- Genuine training and progression within a fast-growing hospitality group
- Team meals on shift
- Staff discounts across our venues and properties
- Real investment in your skills and your career
Joining a new opening means your work shapes the venue from the very first service. Whatever your level, Alto is a place to grow your craft, step up, and build your career alongside a team that champions culinary talent. We will back you every step of the way.
