Chef & Cook

Sushi Chef (Freelance / Development Stage → Ongoing Work)

PUSHI is a new, premium food concept launching in the UK, specialising in push-pop sushi — a modern, fusion take on sushi designed for events, pop-ups and private catering.


I am currently at the development and testing stage of the business and am looking to connect with an experienced Sushi Chef to collaborate on creating a small tasting menu (4 signature push-pop sushi flavours) to finalise recipes, flavour profiles and presentation.


This initial phase is a paid tasting / development session, with the intention of progressing into ongoing freelance, event-based and pop-up work once the brand officially launches and orders begin.


This role would suit a chef who enjoys creative development, modern fusion flavours, and flexible freelance work rather than a traditional restaurant setting.



What the role involves?

Stage 1 – Development (Immediate):


  • Collaborating on a 4-item push-pop sushi tasting menu
  • Helping refine flavours, textures and portioning
  • Advising on prep efficiency and consistency

Stage 2 – Launch & Growth (Post-Launch):


  • Preparing sushi for pop-ups, private events and catering orders
  • Freelance / ad-hoc work as bookings come in
  • Potential for regular collaboration as the business grows and the opportunity to lead a team in the kitchen as demands and orders grow

What I’m looking for?

  • Experience as a Sushi Chef (restaurant, catering or freelance)
  • Comfortable with fusion flavours and modern presentation
  • Reliable, professional, and open to working with a startup brand
  • Food hygiene certified (or willing to obtain)
  • UK right to work
  • A passion for sushi and for becoming a leader playing with flavour and fashion

What’s on offer?

  • Paid development / tasting session
  • Ongoing freelance, event-based paid work
  • Opportunity to be involved from the early stages of a UK-first food concept
  • Creative input while the brand is being shaped

Important to note

This is not a full-time position at this stage.
It is ideal for chefs who:

  • Freelance
  • Work part-time elsewhere
  • Enjoy pop-ups and events
  • Want to be part of a growing concept from the start and grow with the business

How to apply

Please get in touch with:

  • A brief summary of your experience
  • Your availability
  • Any social media / portfolio (if available)

The ideal candidate

I am looking for someone who is passionate about sushi and has a fun energy to work with who is passionate about flavour and progressing with this brand and business
