Sous Chef

Ready to take the next step in your chef career? Join our team at The Wheatsheaf!

We're looking for a passionate, talented and motivated Sous Chef to join our kitchen team at The Wheatsheaf in Tooting Bec, a much-loved local institution serving what we like to think is the best Sunday Roast in the SW (although we might be slightly biased!)

We're all about great food, quality ingredients and a kitchen team that takes pride in what they do. We cook everything fresh, work with fantastic suppliers like HG Walter, and keep things exciting with a regularly changing menu that gives us plenty of opportunity to get creative.

What makes us special?

You'll be working alongside our brilliant Head Chef, Max, helping to lead the kitchen, inspire the team and deliver consistently fantastic food. We're looking for someone who loves being hands-on, enjoys developing others and wants to play a key role in the day-to-day running of a busy kitchen.

At The Wheatsheaf, we believe great kitchens are built on teamwork, creativity and a passion for learning. You'll have the opportunity to contribute to menu development, get involved in recipe creation and help nurture the next generation of chefs, all while continuing to develop your own skills and leadership.

We're also part of Urban Pubs & Bars, one of the UK's fastest-growing hospitality businesses. That means genuine opportunities to progress your career, great job security and competitive pay, all within a business that values its people.

What we're looking for

• A passionate and experienced chef ready to take on a leadership role.
• Someone who leads by example and brings energy and positivity to the kitchen.
• A strong team player who can support, motivate and develop junior chefs.
• Someone who takes pride in fresh food, quality ingredients and consistency.
• A chef who can help maintain high standards of food quality, cleanliness and kitchen organisation.
• Someone who thrives in a busy service and enjoys working closely with the Head Chef to keep everything running smoothly.
• A creative thinker who wants to contribute ideas and help develop our menus.

Why join us?

• Competitive pay.
• Genuine career progression opportunities within Urban Pubs & Bars.
• The chance to work with quality ingredients and excellent suppliers.
• A supportive Head Chef who values your ideas and development.
• The opportunity to take ownership, develop your leadership skills and make a real impact on the kitchen.
• A fantastic local pub with a welcoming team and a reputation for great food.

If you're ready to step up, help lead a brilliant kitchen team and be part of a pub that takes real pride in its food, we'd love to hear from you!

Come and join us at The Wheatsheaf, Tooting Bec, and help us continue serving great food to our fantastic local community.?
