About the role

We’re recruiting a Group Head Chef to take full ownership of two high-profile venues delivering elevated event hospitality and refined fine-dining experiences across Central London.

This is a true senior leadership position, overseeing a £4 million food operation spanning a fast-paced retail-style deli alongside premium dining and large-scale, high-end events. It’s a role that blends creativity with commercial accountability.

If you are a commercially sharp Group Head Chef with a proven fine-dining and events background - someone who understands GP, drives standards relentlessly and leads from the front - this is a rare opportunity to step into a flagship London operation with real visibility, scale and impact!

The offer

  • £55,000 – £60,000 per annum
  • Bonus scheme
  • Pension, healthcare and more!
  • Senior leadership position within an established operator
  • Autonomy to shape standards, performance and culture

The operation

  • Two iconic sites in London.
  • £4 million annual food revenue across F&B and events.
  • Approx. £2,000 per day through the deli alone.
  • Multiple revenue streams: deli, restaurant, hospitality and events.
  • High-volume trading alongside refined, premium event delivery.

The food

  • Wholesome, fresh and simplistic deli offer.
  • Sandwiches, seasonal changing menus and lunch salads.
  • High-end dining and premium event catering.
  • Requires strong fine-dining pedigree with large-scale event experience.

The role

  • Strategic and operational lead across two venues.
  • Manage a team with 5 direct reports.
  • Drive GP, cost control and day-to-day kitchen performance.
  • Accountable for food consistency, standards and financial results.
  • Hands-on leadership – visible, present and performance-driven.

The ideal Group Head Chef

  • Proven senior leadership experience across multi-outlet or multi-site environments.
  • Strong events background with fine-dining expertise.
  • Reliable, consistent and committed to long-term roles.
