This is an exciting opportunity for an ambitious Sous Chef to step into a role where quality, creativity, and progression genuinely matter. My client is offering the chance to join a rosette-awarded kitchen, working with high-quality ingredients in a professional, well-structured hospitality environment that values excellence and development.

With a salary of up to £35,000 per annum (DOE) and clear opportunities to grow, this Sous Chef role is ideal for someone ready to build on strong foundations and elevate their culinary career.

As Sous Chef, you’ll play a pivotal role in the day-to-day running of the kitchen, working closely with the Head Chef while taking real ownership of food standards, consistency, and service delivery. You’ll have the opportunity to support menu development, assist with ordering and cost control, and confidently lead the kitchen during the Head Chef’s absence, ensuring every plate leaving the pass reflects the expectations of a rosette-awarded operation.

This Sous Chef position also allows you to mentor and develop junior chefs, refine your leadership style, and deepen your understanding of the commercial and operational side of a successful kitchen.

What’s on offer in this Sous Chef role:
  • £35,000 per annum on a permanent, full-time contract (40 hours per week)
  • 28 days holiday including bank holidays, increasing to 33 days with service
  • Excellent discounts on food, beverage, and hospitality experiences
  • Strong wellbeing, financial support, and long-term rewards and recognition
My client prides themselves on creating a positive, inclusive, and supportive working environment where chefs are encouraged to progress and take pride in their craft. Experience within a rosette-awarded or similarly high-standard kitchen will give you the platform to thrive in this role, bringing attention to detail, consistency, and creativity to a team that shares the same passion for quality.

If you’re a driven Sous Chef who enjoys working to rosette standards, leading from the front, and continuing to develop within a forward-thinking hospitality business, this role offers an excellent next step.

Apply now and take your career forward in a kitchen that recognises and rewards excellence.
