Chef de Partie

The Super 8 Restaurants story began with a DIY conversion of a tiny Soho bar on Denmark Street, where Smoking Goat opened in 2014.

We will always be an independent, small restaurant group and have now opened five unique restaurants: Smoking Goat, Kiln, Brat, Brat x Climpson’s Arch, and Mountain, with more to come.

As a company, we focus on building meaningful relationships with our growers and suppliers.

As we grow, our belief that restaurants can be better connected to farming and the seasons continues to shape everything we do.

What’s on the plate and in the glass remains our focus.

Our restaurants are driven by the idea that beautiful produce can be served in a fun and relaxed atmosphere.

Super 8 has garnered a solid reputation as a fixture of the London dining scene, earning two Michelin stars and frequent recognition in the World’s 50 Best, National Restaurant Awards, and the Good Food Guide.

In our ten years, the essence of our work has remained the same: a commitment to strong supplier relationships rooted in community, and a dedication to learning alongside our team and guests.

We’re hiring chefs, waitersand managers at all levels.

Impala, our newest restaurant led by chef Meedu Saad, co-owner and executive chef of Kiln, Impala is an open fire grill restaurant, with influences from North Africa to North London.

This project is a culmination of recipes and techniques collected from the unruly metropolises that have shaped Meedu’s cooking.

Our restaurant’s larder is built across the seasons, and an absolute focus on quality of ingredients founded upon long term farming projects.

The room, led by Fanny Derozier, who has spent the last six years at Kiln, will have an atmosphere which recalls the energy of the Friday markets of Cairo, colliding with a Soho bar.

The wine list, led by Penny Vine and Martina Lanarch, will focus on offering multiple cuvées and vintages from producers whom they are inspired by.

We’re looking for people who are passionate about what we do, excited by the Super 8 vision, and eager to be involved in shaping something new.

This is your chance to grow with us and help create a restaurant that reflects the creativity and energy of our team.
