Chef De Partie - Rondo

We are looking for a passionate Chef de Partie to be part of our team at The Hoxton, Holborn in our restaurant Rondo.

Open from breakfast through to dinner, Rondo is a relaxed neighbourhood restaurant offering seasonal modern bistro dishes and great wines for all. Rondo is the kind of restaurant you want at the end of your street; serious about food and drink but with a fun, welcoming vibe. 

Holborn was the second Hox to join the fam, taking over a Grade II-listed building that was once the factory of George Kent, a famed maker of gadgets and instruments (among them a knife sharpener/cleaner now sitting in the Science Museum, no less). After Kent, BT moved in, and now this former telephone exchange is home to 220 bedrooms (expanding from the original 174) and the Apartment, plus our foodie hotspot Rondo, all a stone’s throw from the capital’s most famous shopping and entertainment districts. Rondo: Our neighbourhood restaurant in middle-town Holborn with a focus on seasonal local British dishes, unsung ingredients and great wine. Headed up by chef Tristan Downes; this is the place you wish you had at the end of your street.
