We're opening the kitchen at the brand-new Locke Canary Wharf, a striking 19-floor waterfront aparthotel in the heart of Wood Wharf, and we're looking for a Chef de Partie to run a section across a varied food offer: an all-day café, a buffet breakfast and an à la carte evening menu. This is a ground-floor opportunity in every sense: a fresh concept, a beautiful new building, and a team being built from day one. If you take pride in a clean section, consistent dishes and a calm, confident service, we want to hear from you.
