Head Chef – The Constitution, Camden

Rebuilt. Reopened. Ready for a Head Chef who delivers.

The Constitution is a much-loved Camden pub with history, character, and a killer canal-side spot. After a major refurb, we’re firmly back on the map—and now we’re looking for a Head Chef to take full control of the kitchen and deliver consistently excellent food.

This is a pub that does the classics properly—fresh, seasonal, and premium-led. From fish & chips to stacked Sunday roasts, and corporate buffets that need to land every time, the focus here is on quality and consistency, not over-complication.

What we’re looking for:

An experienced Head Chef who can lead a fast-paced kitchen and deliver under pressure.

A hands-on operator who takes pride in well-run service and confident cooking.

Someone who understands what a great pub menu looks like—simple, fresh, and well-executed.

Strong leadership, team development, and cost control skills.

Solid knowledge of kitchen safety, allergens and compliance—kept tight and well-managed.

What we’re offering:

Full ownership of the kitchen—menus, team, delivery.

Salary up to £45K + service charge (DOE).

A standout pub with a loyal local following and regular corporate trade.

The backing of a well-established hospitality group—offering structure, stability, and room to grow.

A supportive GM and experienced front-of-house team to work alongside.

If you’re confident in the classics, serious about standards, and ready to make your mark—this could be the one.

Sound like you? Let’s have a conversation!
