Company Description

Join us at Metro Pubs, where our pubs are at the heart of city life, striving to provide a home away from home for both locals and visitors to the capital alike. All of our pubs are individual and unbranded, each embodying its own personality and character. We’re the place to laugh with friends, to spend quality time with family, and to enjoy all that is great about a community pub – the food, the drink, the service and the atmosphere.

Job Description

Cook/Chef – Monday to Friday

City of London | Monday to Friday | 10:30am–4:30pm No weekends • No bank holidays

We’re looking for a friendly, reliable Cook/Chef to run the kitchen at our small, welcoming pub in the City of London.

This is a one-person kitchen, making it an ideal role for someone who enjoys working independently, taking responsibility, and having the freedom to organise their own kitchen.

Our kitchen currently operates at a comfortable, modest pace, so this role would suit someone who prefers a calm and relaxed working environment rather than a high-pressure, fast-paced service.

The Role

• Monday to Friday, 10:30am–4:30pm
• No bank holiday work
• Running the kitchen independently
• Preparing and cooking a straightforward pub food menu
• Maintaining high standards of food quality, hygiene and presentation
• Ordering and managing kitchen stock
• Keeping the kitchen clean, organised and fully compliant with food hygiene standards
• Previous experience as a Cook or Chef
• Someone who is reliable, organised and self-motivated
• Comfortable working alone and managing a small kitchen
• Good knowledge of food hygiene and kitchen safety
• A friendly and positive attitude
• Someone who enjoys a calm, steady working environment

This is a great opportunity for an experienced Cook/Chef looking for regular daytime hours and a better work-life balance.

Monday to Friday, 10:30am–4:30pm means your evenings and weekends are free.

If you’re looking for a relaxed kitchen where you can work independently without the pressure of a busy service, we’d love to hear from you.
