About The Hoxton & Rondo
We are seeking a passionate Junior Sous Chef to join Rondo, our relaxed seasonal modern bistro in Holborn at The Hoxton. Operating from breakfast through to dinner, Rondo serves high-quality seasonal dishes with a welcoming but modern approach.
The kitchen is led by Chris Gillard (formerly of St. John and other top London restaurants), with an exceptional wine programme and wall curated by Will Lander of Quality Chop.
Rondo is the kind of restaurant you’d feel at home in: drive-driven, fun, and rooted in exceptional food and drink—but with a strong sense of enjoyment and community.

- Help drive menu innovation, fostering a culture of continuous development whilst upholding the Hoxton Restaurant’s framework and high-quality produce
- Ensure kitchen standards remain impeccable, finding both efficiency and integrity in daily operations
- Take charge of the kitchen team when the Head Chef and Sous Chef are away
- Lead by example for both staff and guests, inspiring confidence and creativity while prioritising memorable experiences
