Chef

Company Description

Join us at Metro Pubs, where our pubs are at the heart of city life, striving to provide a home away from home for both locals and visitors to the capital alike. All of our pubs are individual and unbranded, each embodying its own personality and character. We’re the place to laugh with friends, to spend quality time with family, and to enjoy all that is great about a community pub – the food, the drink, the service and the atmosphere.

Job Description

Monday to Friday City of London Pub (No weekends, No bank holidays!) 

We’re looking for a friendly, reliable Cook/Chef to run our small pub kitchen. This is a one-person kitchen, perfect for someone who enjoys working independently and wants a role with lots of flexibility. 

Our kitchen currently operates at a modest pace, so this is an ideal job for someone who prefers a calm environment rather than a high-pressure service. 

What We Offer: 

• Weekdays only – enjoy your weekends and bank holidays off 

• A relaxed, supportive team and friendly pub atmosphere 

• Independence in running the kitchen 

• Stable, manageable workload with lower-volume service 

Role Responsibilities: 

• Preparing and cooking our simple menu 

• Keeping the kitchen clean, organised, and running smoothly 

• Managing stock and basic food ordering 

• Ensuring food safety standards are met 

• Working closely with the front-of-house team to deliver a great customer experience 

We’re Looking For: 

• Someone with kitchen experience (pub/restaurant preferred but not essential) 

• A self-motivated person who can work independently 

• Good time-management and a positive attitude 

• Someone reliable, friendly, and team-minded 

If you’re looking for a steady weekday role in a welcoming pub with plenty of flexibility, we’d love to hear from you!
