Chef de Partie

Wright Brothers Covent Garden | New Opening

Be Part of Something New

As we prepare to open our new restaurant in Covent Garden, we're looking for a passionate, skilled Chef de Partie to join our kitchen team from day one.

This is an exciting opportunity to be part of the next chapter of Wright Brothers, working with exceptional seafood and seasonal produce in a kitchen that values quality, precision and creativity.

We're looking for someone who takes pride in their craft, respects great ingredients and thrives as part of a passionate team. Someone who cares about the details, enjoys learning and wants to help create something special.

Our Story

For over 20 years, Wright Brothers has been passionate about sourcing and serving exceptional seafood. What began with our co-founders, Ben Wright and Robin Hancock, selling oysters has grown into Wright Brothers Wholesale, supplying more than 750 restaurants across the UK, a collection of much-loved London restaurants and Wright Brothers at Home, our online fishmonger.

In 2024, we established the Wright Brothers Sea Change Foundation to support projects that protect our oceans, promote sustainability and champion the coastal communities that depend on them.

Our philosophy is simple: work hard, be nice to people and be kind to our planet. We believe in great seafood, genuine hospitality and bringing good people together.

The Role

As Chef de Partie at our new Covent Garden restaurant, you'll take ownership of your section, working closely with the Head Chef and wider kitchen team to deliver consistently exceptional dishes.

You'll work with outstanding seafood and seasonal ingredients, maintaining high standards of preparation, presentation and organisation while continuing to develop your skills and knowledge.

What You'll Do

• Take ownership of your section, delivering consistently high standards of cooking and presentation.
• Prepare and cook exceptional seafood and seasonal produce with care and precision.
• Keep your section organised, clean and ready for service.
• Work closely with the wider kitchen team to ensure smooth, efficient service.
• Support junior chefs and contribute to a positive, collaborative kitchen environment.
• Maintain excellent food safety, hygiene and stock control standards.
• Minimise waste and respect the quality of every ingredient.

What We're Looking For

• Experience as a Chef de Partie or a strong Demi Chef de Partie ready to step up.
• A genuine passion for cooking, seafood and quality ingredients.
• Strong attention to detail, organization and consistency.
• Confidence working in a busy, quality-focused kitchen.
• A positive, reliable attitude and a willingness to learn and develop.
• Good knowledge of food safety and kitchen hygiene.

The Wright Benefits

• The opportunity to work with exceptional seafood and seasonal produce.

• Discounted food and drinks when dining in our restaurants.
• Hastee Pay, offering access to earned wages when you need them.
• Employee referral scheme.
• Training and development opportunities.
• Supplier trips and industry learning experiences.
• Discounted wine.
• Opportunities to grow and progress within the business.
• And, of course, a party or two.
