Job Description

Change Hospitality is proud to be partnering with one of London’s most exciting and unconventional dining concepts as they search for a Head Chef to lead their kitchen.

This is not your typical restaurant role. Our client operates a highly creative, immersive dining experience where food, theatre, and atmosphere collide. The successful candidate will be a chef who thrives on pushing boundaries, challenging traditional dining norms, and bringing bold, outside-the-box thinking to the kitchen.

If you’re a chef who believes dining should be exciting, unpredictable, and unforgettable, this could be the perfect opportunity.

The Role

As Head Chef, you will take full ownership of the kitchen, leading a talented team while working closely with the creative leadership behind the concept. The food offering is expressive, imaginative and constantly evolving, so a strong creative mindset is essential.

You’ll be expected to develop dishes that surprise and excite guests while maintaining high culinary standards and a smooth, well-run kitchen operation.

Key Responsibilities

  • Leading and inspiring the kitchen team in a high-energy service environment
  • Creating bold, innovative dishes that push beyond traditional fine dining expectations
  • Bringing a highly creative and experimental approach to menu development
  • Maintaining exceptional food quality and presentation standards
  • Managing kitchen operations, ordering, and stock control
  • Ensuring all food safety and hygiene standards are consistently met

About You

  • Current Head Chef or experienced Senior Sous Chef ready for the next step
  • A chef with a highly creative mindset and the confidence to think differently
  • Passion for experiential dining and boundary-pushing food concepts
  • Strong leadership skills and the ability to motivate a team in a fast-paced environment
  • Someone who embraces innovation, creativity, and unpredictability in food

The Package

  • £52,000 salary
  • Opportunity to lead the kitchen within one of London’s most unique dining concepts
  • Creative freedom to contribute to an evolving, high-impact food experience
  • Work alongside a passionate and ambitious team

If you’re a chef who wants to step away from the ordinary and be part of something bold, creative, and truly different, we’d love to hear from you.
