Junior Sous Chef / Sous Chef | Leading London Gastropub | £45K–£48K
Looking for your next move but don’t necessarily want the formality of traditional fine dining? We’re looking for talented Junior Sous and Sous Chefs to join the team at one of London’s most highly regarded and successful gastropubs—a seriously busy kitchen with an outstanding reputation for British cooking, exceptional produce and quality. This is proper, ingredient-led cooking at a very high level, within an energetic gastropub environment. You’ll be working with top-quality seasonal British produce, alongside an experienced brigade where standards are high and services are fast-paced.
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.
We’re looking for chefs who:
- Are currently Junior Sous / Sous level, or strong Senior CDPs ready to step up
- Come from a quality restaurant, Michelin, fine-dining or leading gastropub background
- Have strong technical foundations and genuinely care about produce
- Thrive in busy, high-volume services
- Are confident leading sections and supporting junior chefs
- Want to keep developing within a seriously strong kitchen team
