Apply NowExecutive Head Chef - Innovative Farm-to-Table Concept
📍 Central London
💷 Circa £75,000 + benefits
The Opportunity
We are recruiting for an Executive Head Chef to lead a flagship, innovation-led dining concept in Central London.
This is not a traditional head chef role. You will take full ownership of a modern, experience-driven restaurant built around hyper-seasonal produce, sustainability, and ingredient-led cooking.
The site combines:
* A unique farm-to-fork approach
* A strong focus on seasonality and provenance
* Premium casual dining with immersive guest experiences
This is a rare opportunity to lead a kitchen where menus are shaped by what’s harvested and in season, rather than fixed cycles.
The Role
As Executive Head Chef, you will:
* Lead all kitchen operations, ensuring exceptional food quality and consistency
* Develop and deliver seasonal, ingredient-led menus
* Work closely with internal teams to maximise use of fresh, on-site produce
* Drive a sustainable, low-waste approach across the kitchen
* Oversee service, events, and experiential dining formats (including Chef’s Table/private dining)
* Recruit, train and develop a high-performing brigade
* Manage costs, labour and suppliers to deliver strong commercial performance
* Act as a key ambassador for the concept, engaging with guests and stakeholders
About You
We are looking for a forward-thinking Head or Executive Chef with a passion for modern British cooking, sustainability, and innovation.
You will ideally have:
* Experience as a Head Chef / Executive Chef in a quality-led restaurant, hotel or premium catering environment
* A strong background in seasonal, produce-led cooking
* Proven ability to develop and evolve menus creatively
* Experience leading teams in fast-paced, high-quality kitchens
* Strong commercial awareness (GP, labour, supplier management)
* A genuine interest in sustainability, provenance and low-waste cooking
* Confidence working in a guest-facing, experience-led environment
Why Apply?
* Lead a unique, flagship food concept at the forefront of modern dining
* Opportunity to shape and influence a high-profile culinary offer
* Work within a supportive, forward-thinking organisation
* Be part of a concept that is redefining how food is produced and experienced
