Retail Senior Chef de Partie Monday to Friday
35,000 PA Plus Paid Overtime at 1.5x Standard Rate
7:00am - 3:30pm 40-Hour Contract
Contract Catering Retail Kitchen + Events Overtime

Love the energy of a busy kitchen but want your evenings and weekends back? Here's your chance to enjoy the best of both worlds: hands-on, creative cooking during the day - and the option to earn paid overtime supporting premium hospitality and events in the evenings.

A leading corporate site in the City is looking for a skilled Senior Chef de Partie to take charge of one of its most exciting areas: a live cooking station serving fresh, globally inspired street food-style dishes. This is an interactive, front-facing role where you'll showcase your skills and bring flavour and theatre to the daily food offer.

Alongside your core retail role, you'll also have the chance to pick up additional hours in the hospitality and events kitchen - helping deliver fine dining, canap receptions, and bespoke private functions, all paid at 1.5x your standard rate.

What You'll Be Doing:

  • Running a live cooking station, preparing fresh, made-to-order street food-style dishes
  • Leading your section with confidence and ensuring fast, high-quality service
  • Supporting day-to-day operations in a busy, high-volume retail kitchen
  • Taking part in hospitality and event services when needed - from plated lunches to canap parties
  • Contributing to menu development with fresh, creative ideas
  • Maintaining excellent standards in food safety, organisation, and presentation

What We're Looking For:

  • An experienced Chef de Partie ready to take on more responsibility
  • Strong background in retail or high-volume kitchens
  • Confident with live cooking and customer-facing service
  • A genuine passion for street food, flavour, and seasonal cooking
  • A team player who leads by example and thrives in a fast-paced environment
  • Culinary qualifications and current food safety certification

Search is an equal opportunities recruiter and we welcome applications from all suitably skilled or qualified applicants, regardless of their race, sex, disability, religion/beliefs, sexual orientation or age.
