The Role

\n \n

We're recruiting a Sous Chef for one of Edinburgh West End's most popular neighbourhood venues — a busy bar and kitchen known for Scottish tapas, small plates, brunch, and Sunday roasts with a genuinely loyal following.

\n

This is a hands-on number two position, working closely with the Head Chef to keep standards high, the team sharp, and service running smoothly across a varied weekly offering.

\n \n

What We're Looking For

\n

\n
• Solid Sous Chef or strong Senior CDP ready to step up
\n
• Experience in a quality, fresh food kitchen — small plates or similar a bonus
\n
• Someone who leads from the front and takes ownership of the pass
\n
• Confident with food cost, prep management, and kitchen organisation
\n
• A team player who brings energy, not just ability
\n

\n

\n

Why This One

\n

\n
• Consistent days off every week — proper work-life balance, not just a promise
\n
• Strong OTE with a transparent tronc scheme
\n
• A venue with a real identity and a strong local reputation
\n
• Fresh, seasonal cooking — no frozen shortcuts
\n
• Natural progression within a growing, independent company
\n
