Our story
Back in 2019 in Paris, two friends, Charles and Victor, opened a brasserie together - the kind of place Parisians disappear into for a 3 hour lunch.
They called it La Nouvelle Garde: a promise to eat and drink the French way, done properly, 100% homemade, cooked from scratch from the highest quality seasonal ingredients.
They served classic French dishes prepared with care, generosity and excellence in beautiful, relaxed spaces full of energy.
Guests loved it! 🎉
So they opened another one, and then another one. And 9 brasseries later, it was finally time to bring it to London.
In July 2026 in Sloane Square, Brasserie Olivia was born.
This is just the beginning of our London story, and we'd love you to help write the next chapter.
The role
As a Chef de Partie, you’ll take care of your kitchen section, from organising prep to running it during service.
You’ll be comfortable working across the larder, garnish section, seafood and hot larder, preparing everything from scratch using quality seasonal ingredients.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
During service, you’ll keep your section organised and communicate closely with the chef running the pass and the rest of the kitchen to make sure every dish goes out on time and to the right standard.
You’ll also monitor your stock and prep, making sure the senior kitchen team knows what your section needs for the day ahead.
