Sous Chef

Sous Chef - NAMO Brighton

Full-time | Ship Street, Brighton

We’re looking for a talented Sous Chef to join the team at NAMO, our award-winning Thai restaurant on Ship Street in the heart of Brighton.

We’re proud to have been named one of The Good Food Guide’s 100 Best Local Restaurants, and we’re looking for someone who shares our passion for great food, bold flavours and a good kitchen atmosphere.

About the role

You’ll work closely with our Head Chef and be an important part of the day-to-day running of the kitchen.

We’re looking for someone who can cook confidently, stay organised during a busy service and help keep the team working well together.

Experience with Thai or Asian cuisine is preferred, especially someone comfortable working with fresh ingredients, spices and bold flavours. But attitude matters too — if you’re a strong chef with a genuine interest in Asian cooking, we’d love to hear from you.

What you’ll be doing

• Preparing and cooking dishes to a consistently high standard
• Supporting the Head Chef with the day-to-day running of the kitchen
• Helping lead the team during busy services
• Keeping prep and service organised and running smoothly
• Maintaining high standards of food hygiene and cleanliness
• Helping with stock, ordering and reducing waste
• Training and supporting other members of the kitchen team
• Getting involved with new dishes and menu development

Who we’re looking for

You might already be a Sous Chef, or you could be a strong Chef de Partie ready for your next step.

You’ll be reliable, calm under pressure and comfortable working as part of a small team. Most importantly, we want someone who genuinely cares about the food they put on the plate.

Thai or Asian kitchen experience would be a big advantage.

Why join NAMO EAT?

You’ll be joining an independent, award-winning restaurant where you can have a real influence in the kitchen rather than simply following a large company formula.

It’s a great opportunity for someone who loves Asian food, wants to develop their skills and would like to grow with us.

Interested? Apply with your CV and tell us a little about yourself and your cooking experience. We’d love to hear from you.
