Our people are the heart and soul of what we do, making us stand out in a crowded food scene.

We're opening new restaurants in fantastic neighbourhoods across the South, so due to our continued growth and expansion we're now looking for a Chef de Partie for our beautiful site.

We're looking for an ambitious Chef de Partie - ideally you'll have worked with fresh ingredients in a premium branded kitchen and be calm under pressure. We're also keen that you have high standards of food hygiene and enjoy learning new things.
