Sous Chef at The Parakeet
Located in the heart of Kentish Town, The Parakeet is an independent public house and dining room. In the front, a lively neighbourhood pub. In the back, an award-winning dining room serving Basque-inspired small plates cooked over fire and coal.
We’re proud to be listed in the Michelin Guide, and we work with some of the best suppliers in the country, focusing on incredible fresh produce and ingredients that speak for themselves. Led by chef Ben Allen, the kitchen has received critical acclaim from The Times, The Evening Standard, and more.
This is a leadership role in a serious, food-led kitchen. Everything is built around quality ingredients, fire cooking, and consistent execution. Standards are high, and the team takes pride in doing things properly.

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.

Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
