Head Chef

Job description

Head Chef | Fine Dining | French Cuisine | London | £60–65k

There’s a difference between running a kitchen… and truly leading one.

This opportunity is for a Head Chef who takes pride in precision, structure and consistency—someone who understands the discipline behind fine dining and has a genuine respect for classical French techniques.

The kitchen is built around seasonal, produce-led cooking, executed to a high standard, and supported by a professional, well-organised brigade. You’ll be stepping into a role where you can take full responsibility—from shaping menus to developing the team and driving performance day to day.

The role offers:

• £60–65k salary depending on experience

• 48-hour working week

• High-quality ingredients and a strong supplier base

• A stable, well-run environment with clear structure

• The chance to lead and build on an already solid foundation

We’re looking for someone who:

• Has a proven background as a Head Chef within fine dining

• Is confident with French cuisine and classical techniques

• Leads from the front and sets the tone in the kitchen

• Understands the commercial side—GP, cost control, rotas

• Is consistent, composed and detail-focused during service

If you’re looking for a role where you can take ownership of a serious kitchen and continue working at a high level, feel free to get in touch.
