Are you looking for your next move as a Head Chef working with a menu that is packed full of flavour, provenance, and seasonality? We might just have the perfect opportunity for you here at Côte.

We create unforgettable experiences for all our guests, so they walk away with a memory, not just a meal. Our all-day food menu showcases and celebrates the diverse, modern French food landscape with indulgent French classic dishes that are balanced with lighter options too.

As a Head Chef at Côte, you’ll not only be cooking great food every day but leading an army of Chefs to aim higher every day. Ensuring the kitchen is in tip-top condition working alongside the General Manager to get the best of your people and the business combined.

The good stuff.

  • Every shift you work, we’ve got you covered with meals from our employee menu (thanks Chef)!
  • A discretionary bonus of up to £2,000 per quarter
  • Permanent contract, working 48 hours per week – work-life balance is top of our agenda
  • Treat yourself, family and friends to 100% on food and drink at any Côte
  • After 1 year of service with us, you will be able to join the Bupa health cash plan scheme
  • We pay all our teams fortnightly because who doesn’t love a payday?
  • Access your next pay early through our Wagestream partnership
  • We take well-being seriously, so you’ll have access to Smart Health, which offers 24/7 support
  • We’re here for the curious, so it’s no surprise there are loads of opportunities when it comes to internal development programmes; we have some big plans coming this year!
  • Company pension scheme & life assurance scheme

Bonjour, we’re Côte.

We believe life should be full of flavour. Yes, we’re foodies – but we’re actually in the business of making memories.

There are so many reasons to join Côte.

We’re on an exciting new journey – and our team will play a huge part in making it happen. That means when you’re with us, every day is an opportunity to aim higher. Because we’re invested in your development, so you’ll get out as much as you put in. And we encourage you to bring your unique flavour to work, because we value the diversity of our teams.
