Company Description
Cook fresh food. Learn from a creative Head Chef. Be part of one of Chiswick's busiest neighbourhood pubs.
At The Duke of Sussex, we're proud to be much more than your local pub. Behind our Victorian exterior is a vibrant food-led destination where seasonal British ingredients meet bold Spanish influences, creating a menu that's become a favourite with locals and visitors alike.
From relaxed lunches and busy dinner services to packed Friday nights with live music, bustling weekends in our garden, and some of the area's best-loved Sunday roasts, every day brings something different. It's a fast-paced, energetic environment where great food and genuine hospitality go hand in hand.
We're looking for a Sous Chef who's ready to become the Head Chef's right hand and help drive standards across every service.
Job Description
The Role
Working alongside our Head Chef, you'll play a vital role in the day-to-day running of the kitchen. This is a hands-on position where you'll help deliver consistently excellent food while ensuring the kitchen operates safely, efficiently, and to the highest standards.
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.
Our Head Chef creates and develops the menus in-house, giving you the opportunity to work closely with someone passionate about fresh food, seasonality, and quality ingredients while continuing to develop your own skills.
From managing stocks and maintaining food safety standards to supporting the team through busy services, you'll be trusted to lead by example and help create a kitchen that runs smoothly every day.

Ideally, you'll have:
- At least 1–2 years' experience in a fresh food kitchen
- A passion for cooking with seasonal ingredients
- A solid understanding of stock control, food safety, and kitchen compliance
- Confidence supporting and motivating a kitchen team during service
- Excellent organisational skills and attention to detail
- A positive attitude and the desire to keep learning and developing
Whether you're an established Sous Chef or an experienced Chef de Partie ready for your next step, we'd love to hear from you.
