Chef de Partie

Overview
One Aldwych is one of the very few hotels in London, or indeed the world, that can say it is truly independent. We like to think we do things differently, always with a warm, friendly spirit. Our story is very much our own to write and we invite you to become part of the next chapter.
Our kitchens and menus exemplify a penchant for British ingredients crafted into delicious dishes with a touch of imagination. The chefs go to extraordinary lengths to source an incredible medley of foods from across the British Isles, working with a network of trusted independent producers who support our commitment to seasonal and sustainable cooking that is ever‑changing and always exciting. Plates are both substantial and stylish, imbued with skill and passion of a team celebrating flavour and provenance in every dish.
