Jazz Restaurant jobs in London

Sous Chef

About us:

We are Barnes's most unique pub, with an island bar, a snug, sixty-cover restaurant, a stunning private room as well as a large events space overlooking the river. On top of our loyal regulars, we host weddings, birthday parties and all sorts of celebrations. Not to forget our historical jazz room, which dates back to the fifties, where we host live jazz music. Our Head Chef Joseph, and his team, pride themselves on fresh, seasonal produce and what we think is the best Sunday roast in Barnes. General Manager Lauren and the front-of-house team strive to offer guests a fun and relaxed environment, where 4 legged friends are welcome. When it comes to service, we believe it’s about doing the basics really well and attention to detail, but above all, it’s about the people. You can make a difference and make our customers' visits truly memorable. If you'd like to join our ever-growing team then get in touch.
