Job Description

We’re looking for a skilled and motivated Sous Chef to take a leading role in our Battersea-based production kitchen. Our focus is simple: bold flavour, consistent quality and well-run systems. We specialise in roasting, fermentation, pickling and marinades, producing at scale without compromising on standards.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys structure as much as creativity. Someone who also understands that great food at volume relies on strong processes, attention to detail and clear leadership.

* Support the Head Chef in leading daily production operations
* Oversee high-volume batch cooking across our weekly menus.
* Maintain consistency, quality control and efficiency across all outputs
* Ensure full compliance with food safety, hygiene and HACCP standards
* Assist with production planning, stock control and yield management
* Help refine and improve kitchen systems as we continue to grow
* Supervise, guide and motivate the production team

Learning & Development
Development matters here. There is significant opportunity for internal progression, and this role plays an important part in building capability within the kitchen. We also host regular youth programme workshops within our Central Production Unit (CPU). The Sous Chef will help create a professional, welcoming and well-organised environment when these sessions take place.

This means:
* Leading by example in standards and conduct
* Supporting structured training and mentoring
* Understanding the wider impact of providing positive industry exposure
* Taking pride in contributing to meaningful development opportunities

We’re looking for someone who sees training not as an add-on, but as part of strong kitchen leadership.
