Chef de Partie / Senior Chef de Partie

Quality Italian Restaurant, London

Salary: £16 to £20 per hour, depending on experience

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.

This is a busy, produce-led kitchen with a daily changing menu and strong standards across both lunch and dinner service.

The restaurant has a relaxed style of service, but the food, execution, and consistency are taken seriously.

The Role

You will join a close-knit kitchen team, working across lunch and dinner service in a high-volume, walk-in restaurant.

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.

Strong pan section and hot side experience would be highly beneficial.

Pasta experience is useful, but not essential.

Full training can be provided for the right chef with the right attitude, technical ability, and interest in Italian cooking.

The Ideal Candidate

The strongest fit would be a 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 continue developing within a serious food-led environment.

The Kitchen

• Team of around 5 to 7 chefs on shift
• Lunch and dinner service
• Daily changing menu
• Seasonal produce
• Strong focus on quality ingredients
• Calm, professional kitchen culture

What We Are Looking For

• Strong CDP or Senior CDP experience
• Confident pan section or hot side experience
• A background in quality-led restaurants
• Interest in Italian food and seasonal produce
• Good organisation during busy service
• A calm, team-focused approach
• Willingness to learn and develop
• A genuine interest in food and ingredients

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