Come and join our team as a Sous

Chef and let your passion and personality shine

Our culture is important to us, and

we encourage everyone in our teams to show thoughtfulness towards each

other and our guests.

As a Sous Chef, you will be

working alongside the Head Chef to run a busy kitchen. You will be creating

exciting and delicious dishes to be served to guests.

This role would suit someone who

has worked in a similar environment previously.

Check out some of the key points

about the role

• As a skilled chef, you’ll get to really put

those knife skills to the test, cooking with the finest of ingredients.

• We want to keep everyone safe, so you’ll

need to keep up to date with the latest allergen training.

• Being one team, everyone in the kitchen is

responsible for keeping it clean.

• Nobody wants out of date food, so labelling

your food is important.

• As an experienced chef, we encourage you to

share your knowledge with new, budding Junior Sous, CDP’s, KP’s and Commis

coming into the industry.

• You’ll be responsible for managing the

kitchen in the absence of the Head Chef.

• Along with the Head Chef, you’ll write the

allergen matrix, to ensure that all our guests are kept safe.

• We can’t run out of food, so it’s important

to keep on top of ordering, via Procure Wizard.

Work/life, or as it should be called

life/work balance is important to us all, so we will always try to be fair with

our rotas. We just ask that you can be

flexible with us, so we can be flexible with you in return.

To say thank you, we have

many perks

• Competitive pay – We are proud that

everyone who joins our group gets a competitive a rate of pay,

irrespective of age, plus you get service charge and tips on top.

offer an externally run confidential helpline for any support you require

about anything you might need as part of our Employee Assistance

Programme.

• We sustain you physically too, meals when

you are on duty are free.

• To be the best version of yourself, we

encourage our teams to be curious. Everyone can learn and develop -

our development pathways are unique to us and are the best in the

business.
