The Berber and Q Food Group is seeking full-time sous chefs for both of our restaurants.
Berber and Q Grill House is located in a railway arch in East London. Berber and Q Shawarma Bar is on Exmouth Market.
Both are informal eateries, combining North African and Middle Eastern flavours, ingredients and techniques with our more Western heritage and influence.
There is a focus on butchery, hot-smoking, BBQ rubs and of course our open grill, with inspiration taken from the grill houses of Turkey, the Levant and Northern Africa. We also pay careful attention to our vegetables and mezze, giving them the same prominence on our menu as any of our meats.
We are looking for passionate chefs who cook from the heart and want to be part of our small but expanding close-knit team. We love those who are passionate about food, fundamentally enjoy working in busy environments as part of a cohesive team, and want to bring their best to the table everyday.
We have been fortunate to receive critical acclaim from leading critics in the industry. Some excerpts can be found below.
Jay Rayner (The Guardian) - "I used to joke that, living in Brixton, I never needed to go to Hackney. For that beef short rib alone I would go again."
Grace Dent (The Evening Standard) - "Because, worryingly, with regards to my beach body, Berber and Q gives me almost everything I want from a restaurant."
Giles Coren (The Times) - 8/10 "The glory of this place lies in the abundance of ancillary things plonked down in saucers to make the meat sing, as much as in the meat itself."
Steve Dinneen (City AM) - "I’ll be back. Again, and again, and again, until such time as they let me in.".
In order to become a Berber and Q affiliate you will need:
- At least 1 year restaurant working experience in the kitchen
- A good grasp of English
- Eligible to work in the UK
We offer competitive salaries and the opportunity to grow and progress with our business. If you fit these criteria and think this could be of interest then please send us your CV.
