Job Description

Join at the beginning. Help shape what comes next.

You’ll work closely with our Head Chef to get the kitchen ready for opening, establish its standards and build a team that takes pride in every service.

The menu is taking shape, and there’s room for your ideas. A seasonal topping, a new dish, a tweak to the dough or a smarter way to organise service. We want someone who notices, thinks and contributes.

Our Head Chef brings experience across bakeries and restaurants. You’ll have the opportunity to deepen your knowledge of milling, fermentation and pizza while bringing your own skills to the table.

What you’ll be doing

Working with freshly milled flour, dough and fermentation.
Helping lead preparation and service, keeping every pizza consistent.
Developing new pizzas and dishes with the Head Chef.
Supporting the team and helping others improve.
Keeping stock, prep and kitchen organisation under control.
Establishing strong food safety, hygiene and working practices from day one.

Job Requirements

Who we’re looking for

You might already be a Sous Chef, or an experienced Senior Pizza Chef ready for more responsibility.
You’ll bring solid kitchen experience, an organised approach and a real interest in ingredients. You’ll be comfortable stepping up during service, supporting your teammates and putting forward ideas.
Above all, you’ll be excited by the opportunity of opening a restaurant and being part of a business from the start. Testing, tasting, refining and helping turn a promising idea into somewhere people love to return to.

Why Five Feet?

Your ideas will have a place here. You’ll help shape the food, the kitchen and how we work.
There’s plenty to get your hands into. Milling, heritage grains, fermentation and relationships with independent British farmers and dairy producers are central to what we do.
You’ll join at a defining moment. We want the people who help us open Five Feet to develop with the restaurant as it grows.
If you love pizza, care about your craft and want to put your stamp on a new kitchen, we’d love to meet you.
Send us your CV and a short introduction. Tell us what you’ve been cooking, and what you’d love to do next.
