Senior Sous Chef - Seabird

We are looking for a passionate Senior Sous Chef to lead the team in our Seabird restaurant at The Hoxton, Southwark.

The Hoxton, Southwark, the third Hoxton in our hometown of London. This London borough is known for its colourful history. Right here is where famous London pub The Prince Albert once stood. Patrons would bet on sport from their barstool, handing fistfuls of cash to the pub’s very own licensed bookie! We have 192 bedrooms, 2 restaurants- Albie & Seabird and our first Working From_ location not just in London but Europe! Albie is our all-day neighbourhood dining spot, drawing inspiration from the French and Italian Riviera. Seabird is our rooftop restaurant on the 14th floor, boasting an impressive raw bar, London’s longest oyster list and panoramic views of the city.

What you'll do...

• Bring delicious menu options to our guests’ tables by overseeing the running of the different sections and running where necessary.
• Nurture and develop the talent of the kitchen team, creating an environment that brings out the best in them and where they can be themselves
• Make sure things are running without hitch, orders and deliveries are coming and going as needed, our service is smooth as chipotle butter, and our food hygiene standards are sky-high
• Work with our Head Chef on ideas and techniques that make our kitchen a creative, ever-changing environment where we’re always looking to make the best food out there
• In the absence of the Head Chef, you will act in their place to ensure the smooth running of the kitchen.
