  • Strong, supportive team
  • Well established kitchen with a great reputation
  • Accessible via public transport

Sous Chef Role

As Sous Chef, you’ll be second in command of the kitchen.

You’ll support the Head Chef, lead the team during service, and take control of the pass when required. This is a hands on role where you’ll be expected to keep standards high and service running smoothly.

Sous Chef Responsibilities

  • Running service and controlling the pass
  • Supporting and leading the kitchen team
  • Maintaining high food quality and presentation
  • Assisting with stock control, ordering, and prep
  • Keeping the kitchen organised and efficient
  • Contributing to specials and menu development

Sous Chef Requirements

  • Experience as a Sous Chef or strong Junior Sous ready to step up
  • Confident in a busy, high volume kitchen
  • Calm under pressure with good organisation
  • Strong team player who leads by example
  • Pride in food quality and kitchen standards
  • This is a chance to be part of a busy, well respected kitchen where you can develop, step up, and make your mark.

If you want a role where you’re properly involved, trusted to run service, and part of a strong team, we’d like to speak with you.
