Head Chef - Luxury Events Production
Location: London with occasional event travel within the city
Salary: £60k
Working pattern: 45 hours per week, Monday to Friday
Team: Lead a talented brigade of eight chefs
At Rocket, we create unforgettable dining experiences for some of the UK's most prestigious events and venues. For over two decades, our name has been synonymous with creativity, precision and exceptional service – from elegant dinners to large-scale celebrations that leave a lasting impression.
We're looking for a Head Chef who brings both culinary vision and strong direction. Someone who steers with confidence, accuracy and care – inspiring a flexible, passionate team to deliver consistent excellence. You'll combine creativity with operational discipline, managing budgets, maintaining quality, and ensuring that every dish reflects Rocket's uncompromising standards.
You'll work closely with our Executive Chef and Culinary Director, collaborating on menu innovation and bringing Rocket's creative vision to life across every event.
This role suits a Head Chef from a five‑star hotel or well‑known events company – someone who thrives on delivering at scale but is ready for a better work‑life balance. Unlike the intensity of a Michelin environment, here you'll enjoy daytime hours, Monday to Friday, with just two evening events a week and occasional weekends (paid as overtime).
