Junior Pasta Sous Chef

Babbo, St John’s Wood – Now Open & Thriving

Babbo — the newly opened and already highly regarded Italian restaurant in St John’s Wood — is now building its next wave of kitchen talent. We are fully open, fully operational, and already establishing ourselves as a standout destination for exceptional Italian dining.

We are now recruiting a Junior Pasta Sous Chef with genuine passion, discipline and ambition to join our growing brigade.

About Babbo

Babbo (Italian for “Father”) is an elegant, high‑end Italian restaurant that has quickly become a favourite in one of London’s most exclusive neighbourhoods. We deliver a warm, refined Mediterranean experience built on quality, craft and consistency.

Under the leadership of Executive Chef Nicola Cariglia, our kitchen produces:

  • Fresh, hand‑made pastas
  • Southern Italian–inspired dishes
  • Sharing plates and premium grilled meats
  • Fresh fish filleted at the table
  • A curated Italian wine list

This is a kitchen where standards matter, teamwork matters, and every plate counts.

The Role: Junior Pasta Sous Chef

We are looking for someone who is:

  • Hard‑working, disciplined and hungry to grow
  • Skilled and confident in pasta preparation and execution
  • Experienced in premium or high‑end kitchens
  • Able to support the Sous Chef and lead sections when required
  • Calm, organised and consistent during busy services
  • Proud of their craft and committed to excellence
  • A team player with a positive, aspirational mindset

This role is ideal for a CDP ready to step up, or a junior sous chef looking for a kitchen where they can develop fast and be recognised.

What We Offer

  • Up to £17 p/h, depending on experience
  • Ongoing professional development and real progression opportunities
  • Direct mentorship from an established Executive Chef
  • A supportive, ambitious team with no big‑chain mentality
  • A culture where hard work, ideas and commitment are genuinely valued
  • The chance to grow with a restaurant that is already making its mark

Who We’re Looking For

You’re not just looking for a job — you’re looking for a place to build your career.
You want to be part of a kitchen that is going somewhere.
You want to learn, push yourself, and rise through the ranks.
And you’re ready to put in the work to get there.

Apply Now

If you’re a passionate, ambitious chef with strong pasta skills and the drive to succeed, this is your moment.

Join Babbo and help shape one of London’s most exciting Italian dining experiences.
