We’re looking for a passionate and motivated Chef de Partie to join our kitchen team. This role is perfect for a keen chef who genuinely loves cooking, wants to work with real ingredients, and is excited to develop their skills in a supportive, professional kitchen.
If you care about flavour, technique, and doing things properly — not cutting corners — you’ll feel right at home with us.
The Role
As Chef de Partie, you’ll be an important part of a close-knit team, contributing to a kitchen that values quality, consistency, and pride in the food we serve. You’ll be hands-on, learning every day, and encouraged to grow as a chef.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Preparing and cooking fresh, high-quality dishes to a high standard
- Working with seasonal ingredients and solid cooking techniques
- Supporting prep across the kitchen
- Keeping your section organised, clean, and running smoothly
- Working closely with the team to deliver calm, well-paced services
- Maintaining excellent food safety and hygiene standards
- Helping with stock control and minimising waste
- Supporting and mentoring junior team members where needed
What We’re Looking For
- Previous experience in a professional kitchen (Chef de Partie or strong Commis ready to step up)
- A genuine passion for food and a desire to improve as a chef
- Solid understanding of food safety and kitchen hygiene
- Confidence with basic cooking techniques and willingness to learn more
- Ability to work well under pressure while keeping standards high
- A positive attitude and strong team mentality
What You’ll Get
- £13.00–£13.75 per hour, dependent on experience
- Generous tronc share on top of hourly pay
- £100 signing bonus after successfully passing a 3-month probation
- 2-weekly pay
- 35–48 hours per week
- Company pension
- Discounted food on shift
- Staff discounts
- On-site parking
Work-Life Balance
- Weekend availability required, but not every weekend
- Some breakfast shifts each week if wanted — you won’t be closing every night
- A varied rota designed to avoid burnout
Location
- Welwyn (village location)
- Reliable transport is essential, or relocation before starting
- Work is in person
Experience Required
- Minimum 1 year kitchen experience
- Minimum 1 year food safety experience
If you’re a chef who wants more than just another job — someone who wants to cook proper food, learn from others, and take pride in what leaves the pass — we’d love to hear from you.
