Chef de Partie

Chef de Partie – Shambles, Teddington

This position is only available to candidates with a valid UK work permit.

Located in Teddington (TW11), Shambles is a long-established, independent Italian restaurant built on seasonal cooking, proper ingredients, and a busy, energetic service.

We’re looking for a Chef de Partie who can hold a section in a high-volume kitchen, deliver consistently high standards, and still enjoy the pace when the tickets start flying.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Running your own section during busy services
• Working with fresh, seasonal ingredients
• Supporting senior chefs in delivering a changing menu
• Maintaining consistently high standards of cleanliness, prep, and organisation
• Helping develop junior chefs and leading by example on the line

What We’re Looking For

• 1–2+ years’ experience as Demi Chef de Partie or Chef de Partie
• Experience in a busy kitchen environment (restaurant or high-volume dining)
• Calm under pressure with strong execution skills
• High standards and pride in your section
• Willingness to learn, progress, and contribute ideas

Fine Dining Experience Is a Bonus, Not Essential

What’s in it for you:

• Competitive salary + tips
• Paid for every hour worked (weekly pay)
• 45-hour contract with additional hours available if wanted
• Staff meal on duty
• Closed on bank holidays
• Annual pay review
• Optional pension scheme
• Menu input and development opportunities
• Staff discounts and regular team socials
• Genuine progression within an established independent business

We’re not looking for ego. We’re looking for energy, discipline, and people who care about the plate in front of them.
