Job description

About The Twenty Two

Behind a Georgian door on Grosvenor Square, The Twenty Two brings together a private members club, 31 bedrooms and suites, a night club and a restaurant open to members and to the public.

Our members return week after week, which means the standard has to be the same every service. It is a demanding kitchen, and a rewarding one for chefs who take that seriously.

The role

We are looking for a Chef de Partie to run their section through every service, deliver consistent quality under pressure, and help develop the Commis Chefs working alongside you.

This will suit a chef who is already confident on a section in a quality kitchen and who is looking for the next step. We promote from within wherever we can, and we will invest in your development to make that possible.

• Running your section through every service, from mise en place to handover
• Preparing and presenting dishes precisely to the Head Chef's recipes and specifications
• Cooking across the restaurant, members offer, private dining and events, so that no two weeks are quite the same
• Maintaining food safety and hygiene standards, including HACCP records, temperature logs, allergen controls and cleaning schedules
• Managing stock rotation, ordering support and waste control
• Contributing ideas to menu development and seasonal changes
• Covering other sections and deputising for the Sous Chef when required

What we are looking for

Essential

• Experience as a Chef de Partie, or as a strong Demi Chef de Partie ready to step up, in a quality restaurant, hotel or private members club
• A culinary qualification (NVQ, City and Guilds or equivalent) or equivalent practical training
• Level 2 Food Safety and Hygiene certification, or the commitment to complete it shortly after joining
• Sound working knowledge of allergen management and HACCP
• Composure and precision through high volume service
• A collaborative approach and real respect for the people around you
• The right to work in the United Kingdom

Desirable

• Experience in a luxury hotel, private members club
• Experience of banqueting or large scale private events
• Level 3 Food Safety and Hygiene certification

What we offer

• 28 days of annual leave inclusive of public holidays, rising with service
• Meals on duty and laundered uniform provided
• Pension scheme with employer contributions
• Employee assistance programme, including confidential counselling and financial and legal guidance
• Funded qualifications, supplier visits and stages, with a clear route to development
• Discounted stays and food and beverage across our London and New York properties
