Job description

Head Chef Required in London

This is a fantastic opportunity for a Head Chef to take the reins in the kitchen at this already successful and well-established food pub in Stoke Newington, owned by a small, new, independent pub company.

At The Prince, our focus is on high-quality timeless classic dishes. We aim to create menus that represent the Great British pub culture—focusing on recognizable dishes that suit the pub environment. We do not aspire to be a “gastro pub”; instead, we want to serve great, honest, and unfussy food of exceptional quality without unnecessary fuss.

In this role, your key responsibilities will include driving business through high-quality and consistent food delivery, maintaining a healthy food operation, and leading and developing the kitchen team. You will collaborate closely with the General Manager to produce a small, seasonal menu and weekly specials using high-quality ingredients from our excellent suppliers.

This position is suitable for an experienced head chef, possibly with Michelin star experience, seeking to join an innovative pub company where you will have the creative freedom to work with exceptional ingredients and cook amazing food in a casual environment. Strong team leadership, attention to detail, and a passion for food are essential attributes.

The contracted hours are 48 hours per week over 5 days, with a salary of up to £50k per year, depending on experience.

If you believe you are the right candidate, please send your CV to us. We look forward to hearing from you!
