Job Description
Head Chef
About us:
Im Dan and Im proud to run the incredible Duke of Wellington on the world-famous Portobello Road!Our pub features in the opening scenes of the 1999 classic Notting Hill but we established ourselves as an iconic part of the neighbourhood during its construction back in 1854 (just two years after the original Duke passed away!) The pub still retains some of her original features including a 360 bar where tourists from around the world flock from the moment we open our doors and our fireplaces where you might find Notting Hill locals and the occasional celebrity (Adele signed her first contract here!) relaxing with a drink on a winters evening.
These features are not the only thing that defines our lovely pub though as we are constantly building a team of passionate and fun people (like yourself) to do everything from pouring drinks on our outside bar in summer to chatting to people from around the world at the bar to taking orders and bringing food to hungry guests in our Dining Room & Snug or even to hosting a party at our upstairs bar in the gorgeous Peacock Room.
In the kitchen our a team of hard-working & efficient chefs deliver over 200 plates of our renowned fish & chips a week on top of an entire menu made up of freshly-prepared seasonal British ingredients as well as buffets and canapsfor our function guests.
Jack & Alice lead our Front of House team aiming to deliver great service no matter how busy we get. On top of all of this as part of Youngs we are keen to develop our people and help them find the next step if they are keen for a career in hospitality.
If all of this catches your eye then apply and head to our screening questions. All we ask is that you currently live within a sensible commute distance and that you are keen to share something interesting about yourself when you apply.
