We are looking for a Sous Chef for a major new opening in North West London.
This is a large, all-day neighbourhood venue in development, due to open around September. The site will be around 7,500 square feet, with a restaurant, bar, private spaces, retail area, and a large terrace that will add around 100 covers in the summer.
The venue sits in a growing neighbourhood square, with new flats, young professionals, students, and local residents moving into the area. It will be one of the main all-day food and drink venues in the development.
The food offer will be built around a strong core menu, with a few site-specific additions. There will be a focus on casual, quality-led food, including pizza, rotisserie chicken, seasonal sides, and takeaway options.
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.
There will also be a small retail area, starting with local products such as honey and jams, with potential to expand into cured meats, cheeses, and other produce.
The Role
This is a great role for a Sous Chef who wants to be part of a new opening, but with the support of an established group behind them.
You will support the Head Chef with the launch, team training, prep systems, service standards, food quality, stock control, and kitchen organisation.
Ideally, the successful Sous Chef will start and work in some of the group's other locations pre-opening to get an idea and bed in before opening.
What We Are Looking For
- Existing Sous Chef or strong Junior Sous Chef ready for a bigger role
- Experience in quality pubs, restaurants, brasseries, or premium casual dining
- Comfortable in a busy, all-day kitchen
- Good organisation and calm leadership
- Strong prep, service, and kitchen standards
- Confident supporting a Head Chef with team development
- Happy working within a core menu while adding site-specific specials
- Someone who wants to get involved in a proper new opening

What Is On Offer
- A GBP 37,000 to A GBP 38,000 base salary + Tronc potential of around A GBP 5,000 to A GBP 7,000, with scope for more if the site performs strongly
- Expected package around A GBP 43,000-A GBP 45,000
- Profit-sharing bonus potential
- New opening experience
- Chance to work under a strong internal Head Chef
- Established group with multiple kitchens and career progression
- Time to train in other kitchens before opening
This is a brilliant opportunity for a Sous Chef who wants more responsibility, a large new opening, and the chance to help shape a big neighbourhood venue from day one.
