Head Chef
Central London
£65,000 Package
One of London's leading fine dining Japanese restaurants is looking for an exceptional Head Chef to lead the kitchen during an exciting new chapter.
This is a rare opportunity to take charge of one of the capital's most respected restaurants, working alongside an accomplished Executive Chef and an internationally recognised Chef Patron whose influence has helped shape modern Japanese dining in the UK.
The restaurant has clear ambitions to achieve Michelin recognition, making this an opportunity for a chef who wants to build something special rather than simply maintain standards.
We're looking for a leader who combines technical excellence with calm, disciplined leadership and a genuine passion for Japanese cuisine.
The Role
As Head Chef, you will lead the day-to-day operation of the kitchen while working closely with the Executive Chef to drive standards, consistency and performance.
You will play a key role in shaping the next stage of the restaurant's journey, developing the team and delivering a dining experience worthy of Michelin recognition.
Responsibilities include:
• Leading all kitchen operations and service
• Inspiring, developing and mentoring a talented brigade
• Maintaining exceptional food quality, consistency and presentation
• Working alongside the Executive Chef on menu development and seasonal changes
• Managing labour, food costs and stock effectively
• Driving a culture of discipline, professionalism and continuous improvement
• Ensuring the highest standards of food safety and hygiene
About You
You are an accomplished senior chef with experience leading high performing kitchens.
You will have:
• Experience as a Head Chef or Senior Sous Chef within Michelin starred or premium fine dining restaurants
• A strong understanding of Japanese cuisine, ingredients and techniques
• Excellent leadership and people management skills
• The ability to perform under pressure while maintaining exceptional standards
• Commercial awareness alongside a passion for delivering outstanding guest experiences
• A desire to help build one of London's defining Japanese restaurants
Why Apply?
This is more than a Head Chef position.
It is an opportunity to work under one of the UK's most respected Executive Chefs and an internationally renowned Chef Patron.
You will have the platform, support and investment to pursue Michelin recognition while leading an exceptional team in one of London's most exciting fine dining restaurants.
Opportunities of this calibre rarely become available.
If you are ready to leave your mark on one of London's leading Japanese restaurants, we would love to hear from you.
