Sous Chef

Sous Chef – independent restaurant - £35,000 + tips -

A great opportunity for a talented Sous Chef to join this independent, family run restaurant. They specialise in regional Italian cuisine, with an emphasis on Southern Italian flavours.

There is a brigade of 4 chefs, and they make everything in house except the bread and pasta, which are sourced from artisan suppliers in Italy. The focus here is on the quality of the produce and the menus change regularly to reflect the seasons. As Sous Chef you will be involved in the full day to day running of the kitchen designing menus, costing, stock control, ordering and training, motivating, and mentoring the junior staff.

Benefits include:
Generous salary + tips
Excellent hours
Great career prospects
Accommodation should it be required
Meals on duty

Alongside the restaurant they also have a small café and deli offering a limited lunch menu, cakes, and ice cream. The restaurant has been established for five years and they are now making plans for another site, so career prospects are excellent.

The ideal Sous Chef will have had previous experience at a senior level, within a fresh food kitchen and really enjoy cooking. A good knowledge of Italian and Mediterranean cuisine would be an advantage but is not essential.
