We are looking for a Sous Chef for a well-established neighbourhood venue in Queen’s Park, London

This is a great opportunity to join a busy local pub and bar in one of the most attractive areas of North West London.

The venue has a relaxed gastro pub feel, with a strong bar trade, casual dining, weekend brunch and busy Sunday roasts. It is more bar-led than restaurant-led, with food that is seasonal, approachable and consistent.

The menu is mainly built around a strong core offer, with seasonal updates and site-specific specials. The food style is casual, fresh and suited to a busy neighbourhood pub and bar.

The kitchen opens from 11:00, with an all-day menu through the afternoon, followed by evening service. Weekends are busy, especially brunch and roasts.

What we are looking for:

Existing Sous Chef or Senior Chef de Partie ready to step up
Background in quality pubs, casual restaurants or gastro pubs
Strong on prep, standards and service organisation
Calm and steady during busy services
Comfortable working with a core menu and seasonal changes
Good understanding of stock, hygiene and kitchen structure
Someone who enjoys a neighbourhood venue with regular guests
Positive attitude and willingness to support the Head Chef

What is on offer:

£37,000 to £38,000 base salary
Expected package around £43,000
Tronc and bonus potential
Great Queen’s Park location
Established neighbourhood venue
Supportive group with progression across other kitchens
Suitable step up for a strong Senior Chef de Partie
Flexible start date for the right person

This is a strong opportunity for a chef who wants their first Sous Chef role, or for an existing Sous Chef who wants a stable, well-run neighbourhood site with a good work-life balance and clear support around them.
