Full job description

Type: Permanent / employed role
Hours: Minimum 22 contracted hours per week, likely 30–35 hours as trade develops
Schedule: Daytime-focused role, including weekends
Evenings: No regular late nights expected at launch

Part Deux is a new neighbourhood café and brunch concept opening in Highams Park, East London.

We are looking for a talented Head Brunch Chef to help lead the kitchen and deliver a high-quality breakfast and brunch menu from launch. This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys brunch, daytime food and independent hospitality, and wants the chance to help shape a new local venue from an early stage.

The food direction will be modern neighbourhood brunch with a subtle French influence: familiar, approachable dishes delivered with stronger execution, good produce and consistent presentation. The menu is likely to include quality egg dishes, brunch classics, sourdough / tartine-style dishes, strong vegetarian options, lighter plates, seasonal specials and a small number of signature dishes. We will be looking to make as much as practical in-house, while sensibly sourcing items such as bread, pastries and specialist products where appropriate. We are interested in working with good-quality suppliers and produce, with final suppliers developed around the menu, quality and commercial fit.

Patrick Powell is also expected to support the project and menu development. This should be a strong opportunity for the successful candidate to help bring a professionally developed brunch menu to life, while also contributing ideas and making the kitchen their own.

Duties

Lead the kitchen during breakfast and brunch service
Prepare, cook and plate dishes to the agreed standard
Work across relevant kitchen sections as required
Support prep, mise en place and daily kitchen setup
Maintain consistency, portion control and presentation
Help manage stock, ordering and waste control
Keep food GP, cost control and margins in mind
Train and support junior or existing kitchen team members
Maintain excellent food hygiene, allergen and kitchen safety standards
Keep the kitchen clean, organised and service-ready
Work closely with the General Manager and ownership team
Support menu improvements, specials and seasonal changes
Help create a calm, organised kitchen culture from the start

Requirements

Experience in brunch, breakfast, café food, casual dining or premium neighbourhood hospitality
Confident with breakfast and brunch service
Strong egg cookery skills
Comfortable with prep, mise en place and service organisation
Able to work across grill / hot section and fryer where required
Basic baking or pastry awareness useful, but not essential
Good understanding of stock control, waste reduction and portion control
Able to follow recipes and maintain consistency
Comfortable supporting or leading a small kitchen team
Strong food hygiene, allergen and kitchen safety knowledge
Food Hygiene Level 3 preferred
Organised, reliable, clean and calm during busy service
Positive, collaborative and comfortable working in an independent neighbourhood business

This role would suit someone who wants more ownership than a standard chef position, while still being close to the food, the team and the day-to-day running of service. It may also appeal to chefs with restaurant experience who are looking for a better work/life balance, more predictable daytime hours, or a move away from late nights and long shifts.

Pay: £18.00-£22.00 per hour

Experience:

Chef: 2 years (preferred)

Work Location: In person
