Senior Event Chef
Salary: £48,000 | Full-Time | London | 7 day operation
Ready to help shape something exciting from the ground up?
We’re looking for an ambitious, creative and hands-on Senior Sous Chef to join one of London’s newest event venues. Open for less than a year, the venue is growing quickly and already establishing itself within the capital’s events scene.
This is a lively seven-day operation, delivering events across weekdays, evenings and weekends. You’ll work across a varied rota, supporting everything from corporate functions to large-scale hospitality experiences. No two days will be quite the same—and that’s exactly what makes the role so exciting.
Working closely with the Executive Chef, you’ll help develop menus, lead the kitchen team and deliver exceptional food for every event. It’s a fast-paced, collaborative and genuinely fun environment where your ideas will be welcomed and you’ll have the opportunity to make a real impact.
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

You’ll be an experienced Senior Sous Chef or a strong Sous Chef ready for the next step, ideally with a background in events, banqueting or high-volume hospitality.
