Claridges

We are seeking an enthusiastic Junior Sous Chef to join our team for our highly anticipated new venue, Claridges Restaurant.

Set in the heart of Mayfair, Claridges is an art deco icon and a byword for understated elegance. Since the 1850s, Claridges has excelled at the finer things in life: glamorous design, inspiring dining, impeccable service. There are many 5-star hotels in London but nowhere quite like Claridges. The hotel is a unique combination of splendour and charm with long-standing connections with royalty that have led to it sometimes being referred to as annexe to Buckingham Palace. Claridges has a famous all-day dining and Afternoon Tea restaurant the Foyer & Reading Room, LEpicerie that offers a culinary theatre of the kitchen, and three bars: Claridges Bar, the intimate Fumoir and effortlessly elegant Painters Room.

Claridges Restaurant has opened its art deco doors onto Davies Street, as it embarks on a new era in its long history. This classically inspired but contemporary British restaurant which will fully open in September is now operated in house by the hotel itself. It was previously known as Claridges Restaurant over 20 years ago.

As a Junior Sous Chef you will be responsible for:

• The supervision, preparation and service of food within Claridges Restaurant.
• Ensuring that the highest standards are maintained at all times.
• The development and ongoing learning of Chef de Parties, Demi Chef de Parties, Commis Chefs and Apprentice chefs.
• Ensuring that the kitchen areas, equipment and utensils are always kept clean and tidy.
• Appropriate mise-en-place, stock rotation and portion control.

Successful candidates for our JuniorSous Chef opportunity will:

• Be able to lead and manage a large fine dining establishment
• Demonstrate genuine dedication to Claridges and show a commitment to consistent quality in our product and service.
• Demonstrate an absolute understanding of our guests needs to create exceptional service experiences, that result in lasting memories
• Be motivated, creative and have worked in a similar role, within a five star or fine dining environment.
• You will have a passion for food and quality products, be a team player who is an avid learner who wants to be challenged and developed.
