The Square in Clapton has an exciting opportunity for an ambitious Head Chef to join our team. You will be working on a full time, permanent basis on a competitive salary.
As a much loved neighbourhood spot, by day the Square serves brunch & lunch alongside high quality coffee. Our customers love creative twists on daytime classics. By night, The Square transforms into a fun, homely small plates spot serving cocktails & natural wine.
We pride ourselves on casual, yet high quality dining experiences. As a team we work hard, but we play hard too and we want all customers to feel like The Square is a second home; whether they're passing by for their morning takeaway coffee or sitting in for multiple plates and wine. What are we looking for?
  • A confident and skilled individual, perhaps at the start of their journey as Head Chef who has a good knowledge of Modern European and is keen to learn. Experience is important, but we are looking to find budding talent combined with the right attitude.
  • Someone who can revamp our current menus to deliver a dining experience that matches the crowd
  • A strong understanding of business financials and the ability to keep costs down whilst never compromising on quality
  • Someone who can lead and inspire a team and work well with FOH staff
  • An individual who is passionate about good food and wants to develop their skillset
  • An individual who can work well under pressure in a small team on often busy shifts
  • Robust knowledge of food hygiene standards and ability to take responsibility for them
  • Someone who is organised, reliable and a team player
  • Someone who is creative and proactive and can take initiative
  • Someone who is ambitious, is keen to work hard and have fun while they do it!
