Role Overview
As Sous Chef, you’ll be at the heart of our kitchen, ensuring every dish showcases the best of fresh, quality ingredients and reflects our high standards. Working closely with the Head Chef, you’ll help maintain consistent excellence across all areas of the kitchen, bringing both skill and creativity to every aspect of the role.
From managing a talented team to contributing to menu development and costing, you’ll play a vital role in shaping the guest experience. You thrive in fast‑paced environments, staying calm under pressure while meeting deadlines with efficiency. Your strong interpersonal skills enable you to build great relationships across the kitchen, front‑of‑house, and management teams, ensuring seamless collaboration.
Beyond cooking, your role will include key operational tasks such as stock control, ordering from nominated suppliers, and overseeing kitchen cleanliness. You’ll take charge in the Head Chef’s absence, confidently managing the team and ensuring smooth daily operations.
If you’re energised by a challenge, passionate about food, and take pride in delivering excellence, you’ll fit right in.
