Would you like to be a Chef De Partie at one of London’s most popular restaurants? Do you enjoy the challenge of leading a busy kitchen team? Do you have stamina, passion and a love for exceptional food prepared using fresh, seasonal and sustainable ingredients?
For two years now, The Good Egg has been serving up delicious Israeli- and New York Deli-inspired brunch and small plates designed to get guests sharing at its Stoke Newington neighbourhood spot. The restaurant’s reputation as one of London's top eateries continues to have eager customers queuing up to two hours for brunch at the weekends, and an evening dinner service that’s often fully booked well in advance.
We have a strong team of chefs at our Stoke Newington restaurant who have previously worked at Mission E2, Hix, The Palomar, Ottolenghi, Berber and Q, The Marksman and restaurants in Tel Aviv. Our short brunch and dinner menus are produced entirely in-house and provide plenty of opportunities for exciting cooking and dish development. We are a growing business and hope the successful chef will develop with us as we move forward.
We’re looking for a Chef de Partie with lots of ambition and enthusiasm to join the team at our new site at central London’s exclusive Kingly Court venue, just off Soho’s Carnaby Street.
Previous experience as a chef in a busy, quality-driven company – as well as experience in successfully opening a new restaurant – will put you at an advantage.
