Head Chef

Independent daytime restaurant, ‘Lost in the Lanes’ is looking for an experienced and contemporary head chef to run the open kitchen, a team of 4 chefs and 2 KPs to ensure our small menu continues to taste and look beautiful and provide future creative direction. If you have the skills, experience and warm personality needed to fit into this independently ran business, please contact us now.
At LOST you’ll get to work directly with the founder, explore your creativity as well as head up a diverse friendly team; ensuring the bustling newly refurbished open kitchen standards remains as high as our food and service. We’re looking for someone who has had 3-5 years’ experience working in a similar contemporary kitchen (fresh cooking from scratch) or a sous chef with similar relevant experience who is ready to make the leap into leading their own team and menu development. This person must be able to both deliver to our specifications, have strong ideas, enjoy bold well-travelled world flavours and be strong on consistency as well have a warm, kind and direct personality.
In return, we’ll give you a long-term job role with equity, the opportunity to help us grow into an evening destination, competitive pay package, flexible hours and a positive, progressive, company culture. We also provide free food and drinks whilst on the job, a staff discount scheme, presently daytime working hours, 5 weeks paid holiday a year and are family orientated.
To apply in confidence, please send your CV and a covering letter to info@lostinthelanesd.com. Applicants will be asked to supply references, attend an interview in December with a view to starting January 2023.
