Chef & Cook

15 hours ago121 views

We are looking for a visionary, hands-on Head Chef to lead the kitchen of our brand-new burger shop in the heart of London Fields. We are a scratch-led kitchen, which means we don't do "pre-made." From our custom meat blends to our signature in-house sauces, we are obsessed with the craft of the perfect burger.
This is a founding role. You won’t just be managing a kitchen; you will be the guardian of our flavor profile and the leader of our culinary team as we establish ourselves in one of London’s most iconic food destinations.
Who You Are
The Specialist: You have a deep understanding of meat science (fat ratios, aging, grinds) and the culinary chemistry behind great sauces and emulsions.
Local Savvy: You understand the Hackney/London Fields market—discerning customers who expect high-quality ingredients and consistency.
The Captain: You are a calm, decisive leader who leads by example during a busy Saturday night service.
Ambitious: You want to be part of a growing brand and take pride in seeing your recipes become neighborhood favorites.
What We Offer
The opportunity to lead a fresh launch in a high-profile London location.
A competitive salary and performance-based incentives.
The chance to grow with us as we look toward future locations.
