Head Chef Wanted – Lead the Kitchen at Kentish Town’s Hottest New Opening!
Location: Kentish Town, London
Venue: Brand-New Gastro Pub (Opening Soon!)
Role: Head Chef
Start Date: ASAP
We’re firing up the ovens and opening the doors to a bold new gastro pub in Kentish Town – and we’re on the lookout for a Head Chef with passion, creativity, and serious kitchen leadership.
This is your chance to put your stamp on a brand-new venue from day one — from writing menus and building your brigade, to creating dishes that make people talk (and come back for more). If you want to be part of a big project with big ambition, read on.
Who We Are:
We’re a brand-new, independent gastro pub with a vision: seasonal British food, local suppliers, exciting twists, and a strong sense of community. From Sunday roasts to elevated bar snacks, we’re all about flavour, quality, and consistency — and we want a Head Chef who’s just as passionate.
Who You Are:
A confident and experienced Head Chef (or strong Sous ready to step up).
Skilled in running a high-performing kitchen, managing everything from costs to compliance.
Obsessed with quality, flavour, and presentation — and proud to plate up food that stands out.
A natural leader who can recruit, train, and inspire a team to deliver excellence.
Excited by the idea of building a kitchen from the ground up and putting your name on something new.
What You’ll Do:
Design and deliver a seasonal, creative menu with fresh, local ingredients.
Build and lead a tight-knit kitchen team focused on consistency and quality.
Manage kitchen operations, including ordering, GP targets, health & safety, and staff development.
Collaborate closely with the management team to create specials, events, and new ideas.
Play a key role in building the pub’s reputation for great food and becoming a true destination in North London.
What’s In It For You:
A rare opportunity to launch and lead your own kitchen.
Autonomy and creative freedom in a chef-led operation.
Competitive salary + bonus structure + full share of tips.
Support from an experienced, passionate leadership team.
Career progression as part of a growing hospitality group.
Staff perks, supplier visits, team socials, and more.


If you're ready to take the lead and cook up something special in Kentish Town, we want to hear from you!
Apply now with your CV and a few words about your vision for modern pub food. Let’s create something unforgettable together.
