Job description

Chef de Partie
Fleur de Lys | Chickpea

If you’re a chef who takes pride in their craft, cares about the details and wants to be part of a genuinely great kitchen team, we’d love to hear from you.

At the Fleur de Lys, you’ll be working alongside Sean and his team – a passionate, supportive group who care about doing things properly. You’ll be part of a kitchen where great food, seasonal ingredients and consistency matter, and where you’ll have plenty of opportunity to learn and develop.

What you’ll be doing

As Chef de Partie, you’ll play an important role in the day-to-day running of the kitchen. You’ll:

• Prepare and cook dishes to a consistently high standard
• Take ownership of your section and keep it organised and running smoothly
• Work closely with Sean and the wider kitchen team
• Help maintain excellent standards of cleanliness, food safety and organisation
• Contribute ideas and bring energy and enthusiasm to the kitchen
• Support and encourage less experienced members of the team
• Take pride in the small details that make great food and great hospitality

What we’re looking for

You’ll already have experience working in a professional kitchen and be confident running your own section. More importantly, you’ll be someone who is reliable, positive and keen to keep learning.

You’ll care about your craft, enjoy being part of a team and understand that the best kitchens are built on good communication, respect and high standards.

Why Chickpea?

We’re a group of independent, countryside pubs built around great people, proper hospitality and attention to detail.

We want hospitality to be a career, not just a job. You’ll have clear opportunities to progress, training to help you develop your skills and the chance to work alongside people who are genuinely passionate about what they do.

You’ll also get:

• 50% off food at all Chickpea pubs for you and up to five guests
• Uniform provided and laundered
• Training and development opportunities
• Team trips, away days and supplier visits
• Monthly rewards and giveaways
• Our annual Chickpea Awards Bash
• A £100 birthday voucher to spend at any Chickpea pub
