Overview

JKS Restaurants and Plaza Khao Gaeng are seeking Chef de Parties to join their restaurant operations in a brand new opening in central London. The successful candidate will have previous relevant experience and a passion for Asian cuisine.

This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced Chef looking for a new role in an award-winning, critically acclaimed group.

Brand

Plaza Khao Gaeng

Khao gaeng broadly means “curry over rice.” Plaza Khao Gaeng is a Southern Thai restaurant, a celebration of coast-to-jungle cuisine. It features curries thick with fresh coconut milk and aromatic curry pastes, fermented fish for depth, and searingly hot stir-fries with cooling herbs alongside.

The concept draws on spaces that emerge around popularity; Plaza is inspired by a place that took over an old movie theatre in Bangkok. Curries in gleaming trays form an entrance to a space that is comfortable and calm amid street bustle.
