Restaurant General Manager - Freak Scene Balham

Pan-Asian. High energy. Zero boredom. All flavour. Freak Scene isn’t your average restaurant — it’s a full-throttle ride through the wild side of Pan-Asian cooking. Born from the mind of ex-Nobu chef Scott Hallsworth, Freak Scene is about big flavours, creative chaos, and building a cult following one dish at a time. We’re now on the hunt for a Sous Chef to join our Balham crew — someone hungry to learn, lead and make their mark in one of London’s most exciting kitchens.

We’re growing fast and building the next big thing in London dining — and we want people who want to grow with us. Think you’ve got the fire?
