Head Chef

About us:

Tucked away behind Highbury & Islington, we're 5 minutes from the tube, we are one of Islington's best kept secret. We are a well used refreshment stop for those on their way to the Emirates Stadium, with match days being our busiest days. We are a fast paced pub, with winter months being just as busy as summer ones. Teamwork is key during the busier times, with communication skills being a high priority. We are a great team to work with, we like to have fun while working hard to give our customers a great experience! Nearest public transport - Highbury & Islington.

Being a Head Chef at The Duchess and within Young's:

We believe every pub should be different, and at the Duchess we are no different. We wish to encompass the best of British produce, aspiring to curate British pub classics and perfect light bites for our guests to enjoy whatever the occasion. From a spectacular Sunday Roast to fresh summer staples to premium pre-match grub we want our customers coming away already salivating about their next trip to the Duchess.

We're looking for a Head Chef with a passion for hospitality and Great British cuisine. We expect and encourage our Head Chef to write your own recipes that match the food vision of your business using fresh seasonal ingredients. Our food vision is all about showcasing local produce, pub classics, small plates and sharers & puddings - each pub is different and its up to you as head chef to put your own creative stamp on that vision. We work with fresh, seasonal produce, so the menu should constantly evolve to showcase these fantastic ingredients when they are at their best. Premium fresh food crafted by skilled chefs in Premium Pubs .

  • 20% discount in all Young's Pubs and 30% discount on overnight stays in our Pubs with Rooms
  • Share save Scheme
  • Enhanced Company Pension Scheme
  • 28 Days Holiday per year

What we look for in a Head Chef:

This role requires someone that can inspire a team, to bring out the potential and lead by example whilst being able to develop, cost and produce fresh seasonal menus for the variety of revenue streams within the business.

  • Have experience championing excellent service through quality food either as a Head Chef or in the position of Sous Chef
  • Demonstrate a passion for leading and developing a team
  • Be an active hands-on team player with excellent communication skills, working in tandem with the General Manager & Sous Chef.
  • Be responsible and able to manage the kitchen staff rota, training and all health and safety effectively at all times
  • Be able to demonstrate your creativity and ability to design and deliver new dishes for our menus and daily specials
  • Demonstrate great planning and organisational skills, necessary to maintain effective controls with regard to both GP and labour
