As a Chef de Partie at Portland, you will take ownership of a section within the kitchen and play an important role in delivering the consistent quality our guests expect. Working closely with the Head Chef and senior team, you will help ensure that every dish leaving the kitchen reflects the care, attention to detail and ingredient‑led approach that defines Portland.
Our menus change frequently, meaning you will constantly be working with new seasonal produce and developing your understanding of ingredients, techniques and flavour. This role is ideal for chefs who are curious, motivated and eager to continue learning in a Michelin‑starred kitchen.
About You
- A genuine passion for cooking and a desire to improve every day
- Pride in working with exceptional seasonal ingredients
- Strong attention to detail and a commitment to consistency
- A calm and professional approach during busy services
- A collaborative mindset and enjoyment of working as part of a close‑knit team
- Curiosity about ingredients, technique and the wider craft of hospitality
- Previous experience as a CDP in a high‑quality kitchen is preferred, though we also welcome applications from strong Demi CDPs ready to take the next step.
Above all else, we value chefs who care deeply about what they do and take pride in their work.
