Full-Time Commis Chef – Australian-Inspired Restaurant, SE8 5ER
We’re looking for a Commis Chef to join the kitchen team at our busy and popular Australian-inspired restaurant in SE8.
This is a great opportunity for someone who is keen to learn, enjoys cooking and wants to develop their skills in a busy professional kitchen. You don’t need to know everything – we’re looking for the right attitude, reliability and a willingness to get stuck in.
All our food is prepared fresh in-house, so you’ll get plenty of hands-on experience with prep, cooking and service while working alongside experienced chefs.
You’ll need to be comfortable working as part of a team and understand that keeping the kitchen clean, organised and ready for service is an important part of the job. We also have a kitchen porter to support the team.
The role


  • Permanent, full-time position
  • Approximately 40–48 hours per week
  • Extra hours may be available when other chefs are away
  • Weekend availability is essential
  • Some professional kitchen experience preferred
  • A positive, can-do attitude and willingness to learn are more important than having years of experience
  • Freelance and self-employed chefs are also welcome to apply

What we offer


  • Opportunity to learn and develop your kitchen skills
  • No late-night finishes – chefs generally leave by 10:30pm
  • Discounted/free food
  • Flexible working where possible
  • Closed every Monday and Tuesday
  • Fresh food prepared in-house
  • Friendly, hardworking kitchen team

Opening hours


  • Monday – Closed
  • Tuesday – Closed
  • Wednesday – 9am–3pm
  • Thursday to Sunday – 9am–9pm

If you’re reliable, hardworking, interested in food and looking for a kitchen where you can learn, improve and become a stronger chef, we’d love to hear from you.
Apply with your CV and tell us a little about yourself, your kitchen experience and your availability.
