Sous Chef - Freak Scene Balham

Chef & Cook

8 hours ago70 views

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.


What’s in it for you:


  • Learn directly from one of the UK’s most creative chefs (and ex-Nobu alumni)
  • Be part of a tight, passionate team who actually give a damn about food
  • Cook insane, bold Pan-Asian dishes — no boring plates, no hotel food nonsense
  • Real creative input – we want your ideas, not just your knife skills
  • Career progression across a growing restaurant group
  • Competitive pay, staff meals, proper respect, and a buzz that’s addictive

We’re looking for someone who:


  • Has solid experience as a Sous or Senior CDP in a fast-paced, quality kitchen
  • Lives and breathes Asian flavours — or wants to master them
  • Can handle pressure, think fast and keep standards high
  • Loves working with people, not against them
  • Has the drive to push boundaries and keep getting better

About Freak Scene:


Founded by Scott Hallsworth (ex-Nobu Head Chef), Freak Scene has become London’s cult Pan-Asian restaurant — known for dishes like Singapore Chilli Crab Wonton Bombs, Miso-Grilled Black Cod Tacos and Beef Fillet with Shiso Chimichurri. 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? Drop us your CV and a few lines about why Freak Scene should be your next kitchen home.
