Chef de Partie

Archie's is looking for an experienced Chef de Partie to join our kitchen team.

We’re a busy, independent restaurant in Herne Hill, serving vibrant South American-inspired food with a particular reputation for our popular brunches. Alongside brunch, we serve dinner from Wednesday to Saturday and regularly host private dining, parties and functions, so no two services are quite the same.

We’re looking for a confident and capable Chef de Partie or experienced Commis cehf who wants to take the next step in their career and play a key role in the kitchen.

The role

You’ll be an important part of the senior kitchen team, taking responsibility for your section and helping the kitchen deliver consistently high-quality food across brunch, dinner and events.

This is a great opportunity for an experienced CDP or Commis chef who is ready to develop their leadership skills and gain more experience running a service.

What you'll be doing

• Running your section confidently and efficiently
• Preparing and cooking South American-inspired dishes to Archie's standards
• Supporting the kitchen across brunch, dinner and private events
• Keeping service organised, calm and efficient
• Ensuring prep is completed to the required standard
• Maintaining high standards of food quality, presentation and consistency
• Maintaining excellent food hygiene, cleanliness and kitchen organisation
• Supporting the senior kitchen team with day-to-day kitchen operations
• Getting involved in private dining, functions and other special events

We're looking for someone who

• Has solid experience as a Chef de Partie or Commis chef
• Is confident cooking to a consistently high standard
• Is organised, reliable and takes pride in their work
• Can communicate clearly and positively with the kitchen team
• Has the confidence to take charge of a service when required
• Can stay calm and make good decisions under pressure
• Enjoys working in a busy, varied restaurant environment
• Has a genuine interest in food and is keen to develop their skills
• Wants to progress towards a more senior kitchen role

Experience with South American cuisine isn't essential — we're more interested in your cooking ability, attitude and willingness to learn.

Why Archie's?

Archie's is a busy and welcoming restaurant with a strong local following. Our food, service and atmosphere are at the heart of what we do, and our mix of brunch, dinner and private events means there's plenty of variety for someone who enjoys a dynamic kitchen.

For the right person, this is an opportunity to take on genuine responsibility, develop leadership experience and become an integral part of our kitchen team.

If you're a strong CDP who is ready to step up, we'd love to hear from you.
