Chef de Partie

About us

Perched on the 34th floor of West Tower, Panoramic 34 is one of Liverpool's most celebrated fine-dining destinations - as renowned for its breathtaking views across the city, the River Mersey and the Welsh hills as it is for its refined, seasonally driven cooking. Every plate that leaves our pass is expected to match the setting: precise, elegant and memorable.

We are looking for a talented and ambitious Chef de Partie to take ownership of a section and help us deliver food at the highest level.

The role

As Chef de Partie, you will run your own section with confidence and consistency, preparing and cooking dishes to the exacting standards our guests travel for.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Taking full ownership of your section, preparing and cooking dishes to the restaurant's recipes and presentation standards with complete consistency
• Setting up and breaking down your station efficiently, maintaining impeccable cleanliness and organisation throughout service
• Working in close coordination with the rest of the brigade to ensure precise timing and a seamless service
• Upholding rigorous food safety and hygiene standards at all times
• Managing mise en place, monitoring stock on your section and minimising waste
• Delivering refined plating and presentation to the standard expected of a fine-dining kitchen
• Contributing ideas to menu and dish development as the seasons change
• Supporting and helping to train commis chefs, leading your section by example
