Lenny’s is a new pizzeria on Henrietta Street in Covent Garden, from Max Lewis and MJMK Restaurants. The result of Max’s extensive travels to New Haven, Connecticut, it is built around pizzas that are crispy, chewy and charred, a revival of his much-loved pop-up now finding a permanent home in the heart of Covent Garden. We’re building the opening team now.
We're looking for a Commis Chef to join the opening kitchen team at Lenny's, learning the ropes of a busy, quality-led kitchen from the ground up. You'll support the section chefs in keeping every pizza and dish consistent, service after service.
This role suits someone early in their career who's keen to learn, takes instruction well, and wants to build a career in professional kitchens. You'll work closely with the Junior Sous Chef and Sous Chef, picking up skills and setting the standard for the future.
This is a hands-on, section-focused role, full of energy from the moment the doors open.

About MJMK Restaurants
MJMK Restaurants owns and operates a collection of award-winning restaurants. Founded in 2018 by lifelong friends Jake Kasumov and Marco Mendes, our journey began with Casa do Frango.
In 2020, we partnered with chef patron Santiago Lastra to open KOL, a restaurant in Marylebone celebrating Mexican cuisine with British ingredients. KOL has since earned a Michelin star and been named one of the World's 50 Best Restaurants.
2024 saw two new ventures: Fonda, a contemporary Mexican concept in Mayfair, our second collaboration with Santiago Lastra, and AngloThai in Marylebone, a debut restaurant from husband-and-wife John and Desiree Chantarasak, blending Thai flavours with British ingredients. Within three months of opening, AngloThai earned a Michelin star.
In the 2025 National Restaurant Awards, AngloThai was named The Square Opening of the Year and ranked 7th in the Top 100 list, followed by KOL at number 50. Luso, a contemporary Portuguese restaurant in Fitzrovia, opened in September 2025.
We're building ambitious restaurant brands with a focus on quality, creativity and guest experience, and we're just getting started.
