Salary: Up to £60,000

We are working with a highly regarded Italian restaurant in London, known for quality ingredients, seasonal cooking, and a focused approach to modern Italian food.

Due to internal promotions, the team are now looking for a Sous Chef to support the Head Chef and help lead the kitchen through its next stage.

This is a busy, produce-led restaurant with a daily changing menu and strong standards across both lunch and dinner service. The restaurant has a relaxed style, but the food, execution, and consistency are taken seriously.

The Role

As Sous Chef, you will work closely with the Head Chef to support the day-to-day running of the kitchen.

You will help lead service, support the team, maintain standards, and ensure the kitchen continues to deliver consistent, quality food in a busy environment.

The menu changes daily, with produce changing regularly, so this role would suit a chef who is adaptable, organised, and confident working with fresh seasonal ingredients.

The strongest fit would be a Sous Chef or strong Junior Sous Chef from a quality-focused background, such as:

• Fine dining restaurants
• Boutique restaurants
• Modern Italian restaurants
• Produce-led kitchens
• Small, busy, chef-led restaurants

This role would suit someone who takes pride in their craft, enjoys working with quality ingredients, and wants to take on more responsibility within a serious food-led environment.

The Kitchen

• Close-knit kitchen team
• Lunch and dinner service
• Walk-ins only
• Daily changing menu
• Seasonal produce
• Strong focus on quality ingredients
• Calm, professional kitchen culture
• No egos

What We Are Looking For

• Sous Chef or strong Junior Sous Chef experience
• Confident pan section or hot side experience
• A background in quality-led restaurants
• Strong organisation during busy service
• Ability to support and develop junior chefs
• Interest in Italian food and seasonal produce
• Calm, team-focused leadership style
• Willingness to learn and develop
• Genuine interest in food and ingredients

This is a strong opportunity for a Sous Chef who wants to join a respected Italian restaurant with a clear focus on seasonal cooking, quality produce, and proper kitchen craft.
