We're looking for a head chef for The Adam and Eve. You'll have experience working with fresh food and running all aspects of a kitchen. Our Head Chefs write their own menus and create their own dishes using seasonal produce, allowing them to put their own stamp on the business. You’ll look after team development and work alongside our General Manager to create a fantastic food vision and drive the business forward.
About us:
Bang in the middle, between Oxford Circus and Tottenham Court Road train stations you’ll find us on Wells Street. The perfect pit-stop for a bite to eat after shopping or a pint (or two) after work.
Infamous on the Soho scene for after work drinks, and celebrations of all kinds, we know how to throw a party.
Serving up a menu of Great British pub classics, seasonal small plates and sharers, and not forgetting the best Sunday roast in Soho.
With a back bar bursting with premium spirits and worldly wines, a cellar full of beers, and the best party atmosphere, it’s not surprising we’re known to be the best place in Soho for after work drinks. We are always welcoming and pride ourselves on one of the best bars in the West End.
