Chef de Partie for Independent Islington Pub - London

Chef de Partie for Independent Islington Pub

40 hours per week salaried contract - £28,000 per annum (equivalent hourly rate of £13.46). Plus monthly performance related bonus.

We are looking for a Chef de Partie to join the team of our busy independent pub in Islington.

The Earl of Es*** is a well-established, busy craft beer pub off the beaten track in the backstreets of Islington. It has a cosy interior with a nice wooden horseshoe bar and a spacious suntrap back garden, attracting both workers and locals, with people coming for the food as much as for the extensive craft beer selection. Expect a brisk weekday and Sunday lunchtime trade and consistently bustling evenings.

We serve the best beers we can get our hands on, complimented with a seasonal food menu focussing on updated pub classics and British dishes using high quality produce. Alongside some core menu items there is plenty of room for creativity, changing most of the menu on a quarterly basis and having rotating specials in between. We don’t serve burgers!

Week-day lunchtimes attract a good crowd of local office workers, especially on Fridays, which is steadily increasing as people return to offices in the area. Most evenings are busy from 6-10pm with a good amount of bookings vs walk-ins, and a high percentage of tables eating. Sunday roasts are very popular and bring in a good chunk of the week’s food sales. Service is relaxed and informal and there is a mix of table service and bar service, retaining the traditional pub feel whilst serving high quality food and drinks.

You will be working in a small team with a very experienced Head Chef who likes to train and coach people. We are happy to develop the right candidate, as we hire mainly on the basis of friendliness, enthusiasm and willingness to learn.

We have recently rejigged our contracts to reduce hours to 40 hours per week to provide a good work-life balance. Any overtime worked can be taken back as time off in lieu.

We are part of the Grace Land Group, which includes The Black Heart, The Axe, Red Hand, The Kings Arms (Bethnal Green) and The Bethnal Green Tavern. There is great opportunity for growth within the company, as we prefer to promote internally, and we are actively looking for new sites to add to our group.

Monthly bonus scheme
Paid day off for your birthday
25% discount across all sites. (We are part of the Grace Land Group- The Bethnal Green Tavern, The Kings Arms in Bethnal Green, Red Hand in Dalston, The Black Heart in Camden & The Axe in Stoke Newington.
