Job description

You love real cooking. We love real cooking. Customers love real cooking. It's a no-brainer, so you might wonder why so many other places don't do it. We do it, and you'll be doing it with us—using fresh, customer-led, high-quality ingredients. We also love our real people who run Lounges. The person who leads these brilliant teams must be super-brilliant, and that'll be you. Your standards will match ours, but your approach will be uniquely yours.

You'll do it your way. You'll be part of a dedicated, supportive team, working from our flexible all-day menu to serve food that makes people's day. It will be your responsibility to prepare each dish to specification, maintain a clean and safe kitchen, and ensure all prep and par are completed each shift. You'll help every customer leave happy, thanks to your great food.

The Good Stuff

• Overtime pay for hours worked over contracted hours!
• Staff food on every shift
• 50% staff discount outside working hours from day one
• Paid breaks
• 28 days holiday (including Bank Holidays), pro-rata
• Enhanced maternity and paternity pay after 2 years of service
• The most talked-about staff party in hospitality—Loungefest!
• Competitions and incentives, such as all-expenses-paid trips with our suppliers
• Company pension scheme
• Long service awards
• Power over your pay with Wagestream
• Support via the Licensed Trade Charity
• Opportunities for personal development and career progression in a fast-growing business
• Achievable bonuses
• Tips shared equally based on hours worked
• Christmas and Boxing Day off!

What you'll bring

• You are likely an existing Head Chef, Kitchen Manager, or Sous Chef seeking your first Head Chef role.
• You have experience working with fresh ingredients and can demonstrate strong chef/kitchen skills (food prep, hot and cold, cleaning, knife skills, hygiene).
• Your work ethic involves rolling up your sleeves, getting stuck in, and leading from the front; actively delivering excellent kitchen and food standards as part of a high-performing team.
• You are familiar with managing through clear KPIs and making decisions regarding labour, stock, food safety, and other metrics.
• You have worked in kitchens where reporting on metrics like GPs, labour, and food prep is routine.
• You have successfully delivered training and recruitment for kitchen teams, including Apprentices, KPs, Chefs, Junior Sous Chefs, and Sous Chefs.
