Chef de Partie - Fine Dining & Events - Central London

Salary: £35,000
Location: Central London
Hours: 40 hours | Predominantly Monday-Friday | TOIL

£35,000, predominantly Monday-Friday, Christmas off AND an incredible pension? This is a pretty rare Chef de Partie package.

I'm recruiting a Chef de Partie for a prestigious private events and hospitality venue in Central London, delivering beautiful fine-dining food for corporate events, weddings, banqueting and private dinners.

This is a brilliant move for a CDP who wants to keep cooking at a high level, but with far better benefits and work-life balance than you'd typically find in restaurants or hotels.

Salary & Benefits

• £35,000 salary
• 40-hour contract
• Predominantly Monday-Friday
• 26 days holiday + bank holidays
• Holiday increases with service up to 31 days
• Closed over Christmas, separate from your holiday allowance
• Pension contribution of up to 18%
• Private medical insurance after probation
• Life insurance at 4x salary
• Income protection
• Season ticket loan
• TOIL for additional hours

The Operation

• Premium private events and hospitality.
• Fine dining-led food offer.
• Corporate events, weddings and award dinners.
• Four private dining and event spaces.
• Events ranging from intimate dinners to around 270 guests.
• Exclusive events model, allowing the kitchen to focus on one event at a time.

The Role

• Work alongside the Head Chef and experienced kitchen brigade.
• Produce high-quality fine dining and event food.
• Take ownership of your section through prep and service.
• Support banqueting and private events.
• Maintain excellent presentation and consistency.
• Manage deliveries, storage, rotation and food safety.

About You

• Chef de Partie or strong Demi Chef de Partie.
• Fine dining, luxury hotel, private members' club or premium events background.
• Strong fresh-food cooking skills.
• Level 3 Food Hygiene & Safety.
• Calm under pressure with excellent attention to detail.
• Reliable, organised and passionate about food.

There will be occasional evening and weekend events, so some flexibility is needed, but for a chef who wants fine-dining food without the usual fine-dining lifestyle, the overall package is seriously impressive.
