Sous Chef – Luxury Aviation & Private Events


Elevate Culinary Excellence at 30,000 Feet
Are you a disciplined culinary leader with a passion for precision? We are seeking a Sous Chef to join our elite team specializing in bespoke catering for private aviation, high-end corporate events, and exclusive private experiences. This is not a standard line-cook role; it is an opportunity to craft restaurant-quality experiences for private clients from around the world.


The Role
As second-in-command, you will support the Head Chef in managing daily kitchen operations and leading a high-performing team. You will oversee the production of meticulous, multi-course menus that must maintain their integrity from the kitchen to the cabin or event venue.


Key Responsibilities:

  • Production Leadership: Supervise meal production according to strict airline specifications and event run-sheets.
  • Quality Control: Ensure every dish meets our high standards and specifications before leaving our HQ.
  • Menu Innovation: Assist in developing seasonal, creative menus tailored to specific client dietary requirements.
  • Operational Excellence: Maintain rigorous hygiene and safety standards (HACCP/SALSA) and manage stock control to minimize waste.
  • Team Development: Train and mentor junior chefs and kitchen porters to foster a culture of professional growth and excellence.
    What We Are Looking For
  • Experience: Minimum of 3–5 years in a premium kitchen environment (Michelin-starred, 2+ AA Rosette, or high-end event catering preferred).
  • Skills: Understanding of diverse culinary techniques and the ability to plate attractively under pressure.
  • Logistics Mindset: Strong organizational skills to manage the complex timing of aviation and event delivery.
  • Attributes: Meticulous attention to detail, a positive leadership style, and absolute discretion when dealing with high-profile clients.
  • Requirements: The ability to pass comprehensive background checks for aviation security, level 2 or above food hygiene certificate.
    Why Join Us?
  • Competitive Salary: £40,000 – £50,000 per annum, depending on experience.
  • Work-Life Balance: Many shifts follow straight-day patterns with occasional flexible evening requirements for events.
  • Environment: Work in a high spec facility with access to the finest premium ingredients and suppliers.
  • Growth: Real opportunities for career progression into Senior Sous or Head Chef roles within our expanding global group.
