Experience - Previous experience working as a Chef de Partie within a high quality restaurant. Michelin experience is preferred but not essential.
Legado are seeking a Chef de Partie to join their team, working specifically in our Taberna kitchen. The successful candidate will be friendly, personable and passionate about all things food and drink. This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced Chef de Partie looking for a new role in an award winning, critically acclaimed group.
The Location Legado opened its doors in August 2025 in the heart of Shoreditch, with a clear purpose: to celebrate the breadth and depth of Spains regional cooking. A sister restaurant to Sabor, Legado builds on that foundation while carving out its own identity - exploring lesser-known dishes and traditions from across Spain, guided by seasonality, whole-animal butchery and a deep respect for craft and provenance. From the Taberna - Legados tapas and pintxos bar - to the main dining room, the restaurant is defined by thoughtful cooking, precise technique and warm, considered hospitality.
Founded by Chef Nieves Barragn Mohacho, Legado reflects a lifetime of experience rooted in Spanish culinary heritage. Nieves cooking is shaped by memory, travel and a commitment to honouring the stories of each region.
Just seven months after opening, Legado was awarded a Michelin Star - a testament to the dedication, talent and collective ambition of the team.
