CHEF DE PARTIE – Locke London City We are looking for a talented and passionate Chef de Partie to join our culinary team. The successful candidate will be responsible for preparing and delivering high-quality dishes, supporting the smooth running of the kitchen, and ensuring food is produced in line with brand standards. This role requires strong culinary skills, attention to detail, and the ability to work collaboratively within a fast-paced kitchen environment to deliver exceptional dining experiences for our guests. THE STAGE IS SET The stage is set for something different. We don’t run conventional hotels; we build places with character and intent. What began as a small UK aparthotel portfolio has grown into a European collection recognised for design and atmosphere - and we’re now entering a new chapter. As we redefine the brand and evolve our identity, we’re focused on creating spaces that feel compelling, contemporary, and truly distinctive. Locke leads with bold expression; Cove by Locke refines that same spirit into a quieter, more streamlined approach. Guests come to rest, work, or escape. Comfort is a given - great beds, hot showers, genuine service. But we aim to create moments that feel memorable and a little unexpected, bringing back the sense of mood hospitality often lost. This is our backdrop. We’re on an exciting journey step on stage and play your part. THE WORK IN YOUR HANDS Support the smooth running of the kitchen and take responsibility in the absence of the Sous Chef. Prepare and present high-quality dishes in line with brand standards and guest expectations. Receive, check, document, and rotate deliveries in accordance with stock procedures. Ensure all kitchen operations comply with company kitchen operating standards. Follow all food safety, hygiene, and statutory regulations including HACCP and COSHH. Maintain cleanliness and organisation of kitchen areas, equipment, fridges, and storage spaces. Monitor stock levels and assist with inventory management and cost control. Minimise food waste and contribute to effective cost management. Adapt to guest, team, and operational needs when required. Ensure compliance with food allergen legislation and communicate allergen information accurately. Work collaboratively with kitchen and wider hotel teams to ensure excellent service delivery. THE FIRE YOU CARRY Strong cooking knowledge using fresh ingredients and international cuisine. Ability to maintain high food quality and presentation standards. Good organisational and time-management skills. Team-oriented mindset with a strong community spirit. Basic understanding of kitchen cost control and waste management. Ability to work efficiently under pressure in a busy kitchen environment. Professional attitude with honesty, integrity, and customer awareness. YOUR PROVEN TRACK Minimum 2 years’ experience in a high-volume hotel, brasserie, or restaurant kitchen. Experience working within professional kitchen teams. Knowledge of stock control and kitchen operational procedures. Basic culinary qualification or certificate from a Culinary Arts program preferred. Basic knowledge of Microsoft Office (Email, Word, Excel, PowerPoint) is an advantage. WHAT WE LOOK FOR We’re here to rethink what a modern lifestyle hotel can be. That takes pace, creativity, and people who enjoy working with purpose. If you’re comfortable with change, motivated by ideas, and focused on crafting meaningful guest experiences, you’ll do well here. We value individuals who can hold a vision, appreciate atmosphere, and want their work to have impact. Skills can be taught. Mindset can’t. There’s no single template for success here - just the right approach and willingness to grow.
