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.
