The Axe is a pub in Stoke Newington, providing people with carefully selected beer and simple and delicious food made with the best ingredients. The menu is made up of a core range of favourites, with seasonally changing small and large plates. Our Sunday roast is well renowned and very busy during the peak roast seasons. Open from midday every day, we have tranquil weekday lunches which leaves plenty of time for preparation work for the bustling evenings and weekends.
We are looking for an ambitious and committed Sous chef to join our team, or an eager CDP ready to step up and learn quickly.

- experience leading shifts in a busy kitchen.
- experience managing stock carefully and placing orders.

- Is familiar and exacting about all aspects of food safety compliance.
