A standout opportunity has arisen for a Sous Chef to join one of London's most exciting and progressive contract catering operations, delivering high-end retail dining and vibrant, world-inspired food concepts within a prestigious corporate environment.

This is not your typical B&I role. The site is known for its fast-paced, high-volume retail offer, featuring multiple street food concepts, globally influenced menus, and restaurant-quality staff dining that genuinely rivals the high street.

The Concept

You'll be working in a dynamic kitchen that blends premium corporate dining with bold, international flavours - from rotating street food concepts and live cooking stations to high-end hospitality and fine dining.

The business is built around creativity, food trends, and quality produce, with chefs encouraged to bring ideas, influence menus, and push standards.

The Role

As Sous Chef, you'll work closely with the Head Chef to lead a busy, retail-led kitchen delivering fresh, seasonal, and globally inspired food at volume.

This role would suit:

• A Sous Chef from a high-end contract catering background with strong retail experience, or
• A chef from restaurants or hospitality with a passion for international cuisine and high-volume service

You'll play a key role in maintaining standards, driving food quality, and contributing to the ever-evolving food offer.

What You'll Be Doing

• Supporting the Head Chef in leading a high-volume, multi-offer retail kitchen
• Delivering street food and world cuisine concepts with creativity and consistency
• Helping to design and execute seasonal, trend-led menus
• Leading and developing a team in a fast-paced, hands-on environment
• Ensuring exceptional standards across food quality, presentation, and service
• Supporting GP control, stock management, and waste reduction
• Driving innovation

What We're Looking For

• Experience as a Sous Chef (or strong Junior Sous ready to step up)
• Background in contract catering retail or fresh food kitchens with global cuisine exposure
• A genuine passion for international flavours, street food, and modern food trends
• Comfortable working in a busy, high-volume environment
• A hands-on leader who enjoys developing teams and driving standards
• Strong organisational skills and good commercial awareness

What's on Offer

• £50,000 salary
• Monday-Friday (40 hours) - genuine work-life balance
• The chance to work in one of the most forward-thinking food-led B&I sites in London
• Real opportunity to be creative and influence menus
• A supportive, people-focused culture with strong progression opportunities
