This is an exciting opportunity to join our new opening and become part of one of the most successful restaurant groups in the UK.

You love real cooking. We love real cooking. Customers love real cooking. It’s a no-brainer so you wonder why so many other places don’t do it. We do it, and you’ll be doing it with us – fresh, customer led, and with high-quality ingredients. As Sous Chef, you’ll be the Head Chef’s go-to for support, leading and engaging the kitchen team to deliver 14 great shifts week in, week out.

You’ll be leading shifts, making sure the kitchen runs effectively and safely. You’re as relentless as us about the detail, so you’ll be all over things like stocks, Health & Safety and Hygiene, manning the pass to ensure our food goes out on-spec and on-time, and always upholding 5* kitchen standards. You’ll be on it. Like a chef’s bonnet
