Sous Chef - Live In

Sous Chef About us: We are the Castle, Tooting. We are a busy, big high street pub with lots of space for all the events and parties we hold. We have a big kitchen with plenty of space to do some seriously fun things. The menu is classic currently and we achieve good sales but we have an exciting refurbishment on the horizon in January where the menu will be completely changing.

We are installing new equipment for cooking on fire and even our very our Rotisserie kitchen. We are looking for a strong Sous chef to join the team and jump straight in with the plans. This is a Live in Position on site here in Tooting.
