Job Title:        Head Chef

We are offering an exceptional opportunity for a proven, high‑calibre Head Chef to lead a new Mediterranean restaurant headed by an independent chef‑patron and his outstanding senior team, who together bring over a decade of Michelin‑level experience.

This is a high‑performance kitchen: fast-paced, demanding, and uncompromising in its standards. You will lead a brigade of 25 chefs, shaping the food vision, driving consistency, and setting the tone for excellence across every service. The expectations are significant — but with full creative input, a 4‑day working week, and the chance to build a flagship kitchen from the ground up, the rewards match the ambition.

Head Chef Benefits:

• £75,000–£85,000 per annum
• 4‑day working week – long, focused shifts with three days off to recharge
• Mediterranean‑inspired menu, evolving weekly
•  Lunch & dinner service (small, refined menu)
• London Bridge location
• Average of 100 covers for lunch and 150+ for dinner
• Full creative influence alongside the chef‑patron
• Opportunity to build, mentor, and shape a large, ambitious brigade

Head Chef Requirements:

• A resilient, driven, and highly skilled Head Chef with a background in reputable, high‑pressure kitchens
• Proven leadership: confident managing large brigades, developing talent, and maintaining elite standards
• Strong commercial awareness - ordering, supplier relationships, GP control, menu engineering
• A collaborative communicator who can work closely with ownership and senior management
• Someone committed to building a long‑term legacy in a demanding but deeply rewarding environment
• This is a rare opportunity to take full ownership of a kitchen that will challenge you daily while giving you the platform, autonomy, and support to operate at the highest level.
