Demi CDP Chef
Full-time opportunities in x8 London locations.
£14 per hour inclusive of tronc, paid monthly.
You would need some experience working in Indian cuisine.

We're looking for Demi CDP Chefs to join the kitchen teams at Dishoom, with full-time roles across multiple London locations. You'll run your own section in one of the busiest and best-loved kitchens in the city, and work for a business that is genuinely recognised as one of the best places to work in hospitality.
We have nine London locations to choose from.

About Dishoom:

Since 2010, Dishoom has celebrated the old Irani cafés and all the food and drink of Bombay. The cafés are busy, welcoming and run by large teams, and looking after those people sits at the core of how the business works. Dishoom also does more than run restaurants: a tree is planted every year for every member of the team, and through Meal for a Meal it has donated more than 30 million meals to children in the UK and India, with every shift worked contributing 55 of them.

The roles:

  • Full-time: a contracted minimum of 40 hours per week, across 5 days.
  • Some short-term opportunities on a full-time, 3-month contract, at the same terms.
  • Shifts run on a weekly changing rota, so you'll need full flexibility to work across Monday to Sunday.

The section:

You'll be a master of your section, whether that's breakfast, fryer, curry or tandoor.
You keep it prepped and ready for a first-class service, and clean and organised at all times.

What you'll bring:

You love to cook, you want to keep learning new skills, and you enjoy the buzz of a busy kitchen. You care about quality in every dish and you help keep the team around you positive.

The opportunity:

£14 per hour inclusive of tronc, paid monthly.

  • Free weekly wage advances, emergency cash, and a savings and financial health planning tool.
  • Up to 50% off when dining at Dishoom with friends and family.
  • Paid holiday including tronc. The cafés close on Christmas Day and Boxing Day, and if you have children you get one extra day off to take them to their first day at school.
  • Award-winning training from day one. Dishoom promoted 326 of its team last year.
  • Every manager is trained in mental health support and first aid, with a confidential advice helpline open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, for you or anyone in your household.
  • Free monthly fitness sessions, including yoga and spin, and discounted memberships with leading gyms and studios.
  • The Dishoom Premier League, an in-house cricket tournament played at Lord's, plus an annual football league across the Dishoom teams.
  • The Family Mela summer festival, a huge Christmas celebration and regular team events.
  • Team members who reach 5 years with Dishoom are invited on Bombay Bootcamp, an educational trip to Bombay.
  • Chef whites provided.

Everyone is welcome at Dishoom, and applications are encouraged from people of all backgrounds, identities and experiences.

I'd love to pick up a call with you, talk you through the kitchen properly and cover this role, or anything else that could be the right next step for you.

Speak soon.
