SENIORSOUSCHEF

ABOUT US

We create bright, welcoming neighbourhood restaurants — open all day, every day.

Our restaurants embody the Australian spirit that Bill Granger made known around the world: easy-going generous excellence.

Our food makes people feel good; it’s full of flavour, goodness and vitality. We source the best possible ingredients with a sunny, colourful lightness and the emotional comfort of food is as important to us as how it looks and tastes.

As a family-owned restaurant group still led by its founding core, that is constantly evolving and developing, we value all employees as respected individuals and foster diversity and inclusion, with everyone given a chance to share their voice and ideas. People stay with us and grow with us, many for over a decade.

Sustainability is considered in everything we do.

THE ROLE

This is a full-time position based across our London restaurants.

As SeniorSousChef, you’ll help lead the kitchen day to day — ensuring every service runs smoothly, every plate looks beautiful and every guest leaves feeling good.

You’ll work closely with the HeadChef and Group HeadChef, supporting with daily operations, ordering and rota management. You’ll play a key role in leading and inspiring the team, bringing energy and calm to even the busiest services.

You’ll also help drive our seasonal menu changes, leading training for both kitchen and front of house teams, and making sure that every new dish is cooked, plated and served with care and consistency.

ABOUT YOU

You’re passionate, approachable and organised, able to guide your team through a busy shift with confidence and positivity.

You take pride in your craft and have a genuine curiosity, interest and love for cooking with beautiful, seasonal produce and independent suppliers.

Experience in an all-day dining restaurant is ideal, but more than anything, you bring curiosity, calm under pressure, and a desire to grow — both for yourself and for your team.

WHAT WE OFFER

We believe in real work–life balance and a culture of care. You’ll be part of a people-focused team who share a passion for fresh, everyday food.

Our benefits include:

• Flexible hours and supportive scheduling
• All meals on shift — fresh, generous and wholesome
• 50% staff discount across all Granger & Co. restaurants
• Hospitality Rewards membership, including discounts, wellbeing support and private GP access
• Cycle to Work scheme
• Access to our training calendar for development and growth
• Enhanced maternity pay (subject to eligibility)
• An additional day of holiday for every year of service after two years

DIVERSITY & INCLUSION

We believe great food tastes better when everyone feels welcome. Our teams are happiest when they work productively together, learning and growing with one another. We value individuality and diversity, and strive to create an environment where every voice is heard and respected.

If this sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you.
