This is going to be negotiable depending on you as a professional Chef and what you can bring in terms of speed, ability, fresh produce experience, food trend knowledge, technical skills, knife skills, allergens and food safety know how etc.
If you are a Commis Chef with 6-12 months experience, you'll likely start on c.£26k per annum. If you are an experienced Chef De Partie or Sous Chef, your salary will start at c.£35k per annum. Salaries will be negotiable dependant on employment history, references, culinary skills and so forth.
