Chef de Partie

A great kitchen. A great neighbourhood. A place to grow.

No. Forty Nine is a vibrant neighbourhood restaurant in the heart of St John’s Wood, bringing together exceptional food, warm hospitality and a strong sense of occasion from morning through to evening.

We’re looking for a driven, charismatic and ambitious Chef de Partie to join our kitchen team. This is an exciting opportunity for a chef who wants to do more than simply work a section — someone who wants to learn, develop and become an integral part of a growing restaurant.

We’d particularly love to hear from chefs with brunch or all-day dining experience, although the right attitude, energy and ambition matter just as much as your CV.

As a CDP, you’ll be an important part of the kitchen team, working closely with the Head Chef and senior chefs to deliver consistently excellent food across our different services.

You’ll have the opportunity to work across breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner, gaining experience across a broad range of dishes, techniques and service styles.

You’ll be expected to:

• Take ownership of your section and maintain consistently high standards.
• Prepare and cook dishes to our recipes and specifications.
• Work confidently and efficiently during busy services.
• Support the wider kitchen team and communicate brilliantly with FOH and BOH.
• Maintain exceptional standards of cleanliness, organisation and food safety.
• Contribute ideas and bring energy, personality and enthusiasm to the kitchen.
• Learn from our senior chefs and progressively take on more responsibility.

We’re looking for someone who is hungry to improve.

You’ll be organised, positive and reliable, with a genuine passion for food. You’ll have the confidence to get stuck in, the personality to be part of a team and the ambition to keep pushing yourself.

Brunch or all-day dining experience would be a real advantage, particularly if you enjoy the pace and variety that comes with a kitchen that changes throughout the day.

Most importantly, you’ll want to learn, grow and develop.

This is a role with genuine progression.

As an independent restaurant, we can give talented chefs the opportunity to have a real voice, work closely with senior leadership and develop their skills rather than simply becoming another number on a rota.

You’ll be exposed to different services, new techniques and a broad range of food — with opportunities to take on greater responsibility as you develop.

If you’re a chef with personality, ambition and a genuine love of hospitality, we’d love to meet you.

Come and grow with us.
