Chef de Partie - Crazy Bear Beaconsfield

Some chefs like the spotlight.

Where you’ll be working

Crazy Bear Beaconsfield is Town.

Signature bedrooms, two restaurants—The Dining Room and Hom Thai—two bars and a hidden outdoor pool, all tucked into the middle of Old Beaconsfield.

Our cocktail bar is mirrored, low-lit and built for late nights. The wine list is considered, the drinks are taken seriously and the atmosphere rarely sits still for long.

If you can run a clean section, cook consistently and keep your head when the printer starts talking, we should talk.
