Hands-on, operational, built to grow.

The role needs someone who has led a kitchen team and can carry the operational weight from day one. If you're a Head Chef or Kitchen Manager who has been waiting for the chance to be accountable for something, step into a senior position, and build something that lasts — this is the conversation to have.

We are accomplished restaurateurs now supporting forward-thinking, values-led, independant brands that we feel offer genuine career development opportunities in their growth plans.

The Opportunity

This is a newly created role — which means you'd be shaping it, not inheriting someone else's version of it. A growing independent restaurant group is looking for a senior kitchen leader to take operational ownership across two well-established London restaurants. The title is Kitchen Manager rather than Head Chef and you would be on shift over the busy service periods with your time shared accross two kitchens. The role is hands-on leading compliance, cost control, standards, team development. Roughly 70% of your time is hands-on in service; the rest is the operational and strategic work that makes those services possible.

The Business

Two London restaurants, one group. Fresh, ingredient-led cooking with international influence. Both sites have established followings, strong weekly covers, and full drinks programmes including cocktails. The group is founder-led with a small, tight head office — decisions get made quickly, good ideas get heard, and the person in this role will have genuine influence on how the kitchens evolve. A third site and central production kitchen are in the plan for 2027, and the right person will be central to that build-out.

You must be

• Operationally strong — not just a good chef, but someone who cares deeply about systems, compliance, and standards
• Experienced managing a kitchen brigade, including recruitment and training
• Comfortable holding your own across labour costs, stock management, and the numbers that drive a kitchen
• Adaptable — this is a small group, which means hands-on autonomy rather than layers of central support.
• Ready for a genuine step up — ideally into your first multi-site senior role, hungry to prove what you can do with real ownership

Be able to

• Run kitchen operations across two sites — audits, compliance, hygiene standards, consistency checks
• Lead brigade development: one-to-ones, performance management, training plans, and bringing good people in
• Manage labour and food costs to target, week in week out
• Work closely with the Sous Chefs who hold each site day-to-day, giving them clear direction and genuine support
• Contribute to menu development alongside the founders — this is a welcome part of the role, though not the primary brief

About you

• You have a thoughtful career and developed up from role to role
• You have proven accomplishments and reflect someone that develops year on year
• You are not someone that changes jobs every year and has developed up year on year within the same brands
• You are an exceptional communicator and demonstrate leadership and mentorship in teams
• You have a strong understanding of kitchen management, compliance and standards underpinned by your ability to implement and improve process and procedure
• You have taken the time to apply to this opportunity and feel that this is the next natural step for you in your development

Look forward to supporting you.

**Chef de Partie — up to £16 per hour depending on experience (£35,000–£40,000 per year equivalent) — Mayfair, Central London**

A skilled, professional CDP ready to join a small kitchen team at an independently owned Lebanese and French-inspired restaurant in Mayfair.

We are looking for a Chef de Partie with consistent, professional experience to join the kitchen team at a founder-led restaurant in the heart of Mayfair. The concept is rooted in Lebanese and French cuisine with rotisserie as its centrepiece — a concise, considered menu built around quality produce and strong technique. Lebanese cuisine experience is not required; what matters is that you are a skilled, professional chef who wants to learn new dishes and develop a career as the business grows into new locations. This is an independent brand with real momentum — a third site is in the pipeline, and the team being built now will be integral to those openings.

**The Role:**

Full-time, 48 hours per week, working four days on and three days off. Open from 12pm Monday to Sunday. The kitchen closes at 10:30pm Monday to Saturday; Sunday is lunch service only, no dinner. The role works across a team that includes KP and Commis Chefs.

**Your Experience:**

At least one year of consistent CDP experience in a recognised brand. A la carte service, fresh produce, prep, and a solid understanding of kitchen health and safety and stock management. French or Lebanese culinary background beneficial but not essential.

**About You:**

Professional, proud of your craft and looking for a kitchen where you can develop. You want to be part of a team that grows together, not just pass through.

Drop me a note and I'll pick up a call with you, present the business to you and talk through the opportunity or any other position that we feel will offer career development. Speak soon.

Bar Manager or Bar Supervisor Mixologist - up to £44,000 per year - Central London

A Bar Manager or Bar Supervisor accomplished in leading cocktail bars reporting directly to the General Manager.

We are looking for an experienced Bar Manager or Bar Supervisor from a recognised high-street brand to lead a small, speakeasy basement cocktail bar in an independently owned Lebanese and French-inspired restaurant in Central London. You will need at least two years of bar management experience, a considered career that has moved consistently upward, and the kind of hands-on mixology skills that set a standard for a small team. You will support the leadership of a front-of-house team of ten to fifteen colleagues and manage a bar team of three. This is a Mayfair independent now moving towards its third opening — if you are career-driven, genuinely engaged and looking for a role where you can grow with the business, be central to new-site openings, and develop in time into a more senior multi-site position, this is the right opportunity.

The Role:

Full-time, hands-on and accountable. You will take ownership of the guest experience and service standards within the bar, as well as supporting the wider business administration: health and safety compliance, team training and development. The restaurant is open seven days a week from 12pm; the kitchen closes at 10:30pm Monday to Saturday (Sunday lunch service only). The downstairs cocktail bar operates under a late licence — last orders at midnight, with closing at 1am on busy Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings, and between 11pm and midnight on weekday evenings. The role is fully hands-on in service.

Your Experience:

Bar Manager or Bar Supervisor with specific experience in cocktail bars. Longevity in roles, with demonstrable accomplishments year on year. Strong hands-on mixology with a track record of recruiting and developing a bar team in a known high street cocktail bar brand.

About you:

Strong leadership and communication skills. Lead from the front, mentor your team, and review and report on weekly performance. A genuine eye for detail and a guest-first mentality.

Drop me a note and I'll pick up a call with you, present the business to you and talk through the opportunity or any other position that we feel will offer career development.
