Head Chef – High-End Vietnamese Cuisine
Salary: £45,000–£50,000 per annum
We're looking for an experienced and mature Head Chef, Senior Sous Chef or ambitious Sous Chef to join a stable and exciting project focused on high-end Vietnamese cuisine .
This is an excellent opportunity for a chef with a strong background in high-end kitchens, particularly Asian cuisine , who is looking to step away from the intensity and volume of larger, busier operations while still having the opportunity to lead, create and make their mark.
The Role
You'll take responsibility for the day-to-day running of the kitchen, working closely with a small team of 6 chefs . The role will cover everything from kitchen leadership and team management through to menu development, ordering, administration, prep and maintaining consistently high standards .
With the restaurant operating at around 40 covers at a time , you'll have the space and time to properly execute your food rather than constantly firefighting service.
The restaurant is open 6 days a week, closed Mondays , with the Head Chef working 4 shifts per week .
