We are looking for an outstanding and talented Sous Chef to joinour the team at the (venue). The Salt Yard family was born out of founders Sanja Moll and Simon Mullins’ experiences and love of eating and drinking throughout Spain and Italy.
A bar stool in Seville for a glass of cold sherry and a plate of glisteningly fresh squid; a trattoria in Bologna for a shared dish of oozing pumpkin tortellini with sage butter; a board of cheeses with honey and a large glass of Barolo in Milan; a long trawl around the windy streets of San Sebastian for sautéed wild mushrooms at one place and crispy morcilla croquetas at another, with a Txakolí or two along the way. Their aim was to transfer all these experiences to the streets of London whilst adding in a generous splash of warm hospitality.
This amazing opportunity is ideal for someone who loves working with fresh premium and seasonal products and preferably experience within gastro pubs; loves working in a busy kitchen; understands and delivers a perfect service with or without the Head Chef present; can lead the kitchen team to success consistently and is excited by innovation and change to secure outstanding results for the business.
