Job description

We are looking for a motivated Chef de Partie that is ready for a new challenge and wants the opportunity to learn, develop new skills and progress within the business.

This is a former 19th century Gin Palace, this historic site was named in the 1840s in homage to the regular drinkers from nearby Punch magazine. The newly refurbished Punch retains much of its original period charm, with a spacious main bar and rear dining room available for private hire. At the bar, you'll find a gin and whisky lover's paradise, plus an excellent selection of craft beer and cask ale, and carefully curated wine list. On the menu, the focus is seasonality, with pub classics alongside delicious small plates and lunchtime wraps, in the City of London.
