      • PRIVATE CHEF

         

        Salary: circa £50,000 GPA

        Location: Central London (WC1)

        Hours: Monday to Friday, 10:30 AM to 7:30 PM

        Position: Live-out, non-smoker

        Start date:  October 2026

        Statutory holiday

         

         

        Lively family with six children and baby on the way seeks chef to prepare delicious meals.  Because the flat is open-plan and the mother will be breast-feeding, we require a female chef.

         

        Duties include:

         

        --Menu-planning and grocery-shopping at a nearby Waitrose

         

        --Preparation of fresh lunches for the mother and child at home (and packed lunches for the children at school), dinner and dessert.  Plus, breakfast for the next day.  Extra food is made on Fridays for the weekend.  Where possible, extra food is also made for holiday coverage as needed. 

         

        --Cleaning of the kitchen and dining table area; organization of larders and fridge to minimize food waste

         

         

        Baking is a key aspect of this job.  You must be comfortable working with metric and imperial weights, as well as the American cup system.

         

        We admire chefs like Ravneet Gill, Nicola Lamb, and David Lebovitz, who are meticulous in their attention to detail. 

         

        If you’re the type of person who nerds out on the protein content of flours, who enjoys sourcing exotic spices like mahleb or making your own marzipan; if you’re a fanatic about separating cutting boards so that a strawberry tart doesn’t accidentally taste like garlic, and you can keep your sourdough starter bubbling happily away no matter how busy life gets, this job may be for you.

         

        The other crucial aspect of the job is creative menu-planning.  We prefer to try new dishes rather than sticking to a rota (though of course we have our tried-and-tested favourites).

         

        We like a wide variety of cuisines, including: French, Italian, Japanese, Israeli, and Scandinavian.  We organize the menus around flavour profiles.  For example, if we serve Ottolenghi’s felafel recipe with hummus, salad, and pitas for dinner, we might choose halva brownies or chocolate-pistachio cookies for dessert to keep the Middle Eastern vibe.  Or with Swedish meatballs, we’d order lingonberry sauce to accompany the peas and mashed potatoes, and bake Honningkage.  We like to eat seasonally, where possible, and get excited when Seville oranges hit the shelves in January, envisioning St. Clement’s marmalade in our future.

         

        To succeed at this job, you need a combination of enthusiasm and stamina.   Enthusiasm for learning new dishes and techniques.  Stamina for carrying groceries and being on your feet much of the day.  We’re also looking for stability, a person who wants a steady long-term job rather than a few months, and who’s not stressed by children (with their paper airplanes soaring past or Legos underfoot), but is able to work around the children’s school calendar.  Flexibility is crucial since the family leads a busy lifestyle, and the chef needs to adapt to last-minute changes.

          FULL-TIME FAMILY COOK / ASSISTANT PRIVATE CHEF

          Private Estate, Cotswolds
          Full-time, permanent
          5 days per week | 2 consecutive days off
          Salary dependent on experience

           

          A wonderful opportunity has arisen for an enthusiastic and passionate Family Cook / Assistant Private Chef to join a lovely private family on their beautiful working estate in the Cotswolds.

          This is a particularly exciting opportunity for someone at the beginning of their culinary career who loves good, seasonal food and would like to develop their skills within a private household. The successful candidate will work closely alongside a highly experienced and knowledgeable Private Chef, with the opportunity to learn, evolve and gradually take on greater responsibility.

          At the heart of the role is delicious, unfussy and beautifully prepared home cooking, with a strong emphasis on seasonality and making the very best use of produce grown in the estate's extensive kitchen garden and from the wider farm.

           

          The family are passionate about good food and would love to find someone who shares that enthusiasm: a naturally creative and imaginative cook who enjoys looking at what is growing in the garden and thinking about what they can make with it. Making the most of seasonal abundance is an important part of the kitchen, including preserving, pickling and preparing home-grown produce to be enjoyed throughout the year.

           

          The household principally consists of two people, with close family regularly coming and going. They enjoy entertaining at home, particularly Sunday lunches for approximately 8–12 guests, as well as around five shoot weekends throughout the year.

           

          This is a warm and welcoming household with a fantastic wider estate team. The successful candidate will be personable, discreet and happy to be client-facing, becoming a valued part of both the household and the wider team.

           

          THE ROLE

          • Working closely with the Private Chef, responsibilities will include:
          • Preparing fresh, seasonal family meals using home-grown and locally sourced produce
          • Assisting with menu planning and developing an understanding of the family's tastes and preferences
          • Making imaginative use of produce from the kitchen garden and wider estate
          • Preserving and making the most of seasonal gluts from the kitchen garden, including chutneys, jams, pickles, preserves and other produce for use throughout the year
          • Preparing for relaxed family meals, Sunday lunches, house guests and entertaining
          • Assisting the Private Chef during approximately five shoot weekends each year
          • Helping with occasional larger events and particularly busy periods
          • Shopping, provisioning and maintaining well-organised food stocks
          • Receiving, checking and putting away deliveries
          • Maintaining excellent standards of kitchen cleanliness, organisation and presentation
          • Working collaboratively with the Private Chef and wider household and estate team
          • Being flexible and willing to help wherever required within the kitchen

           

          THE IDEAL PERSON

          The family are not necessarily looking for someone with years of private household experience. In fact, this could be an exceptional first step into private service for a young or newly trained cook with excellent foundations, natural ability and a genuine desire to learn.

          A Ballymaloe-trained candidate would be particularly welcomed, or someone from a similar background with a genuine appreciation for seasonal, produce-led cooking.

          Above all, we are looking for someone who:

          • Has a genuine love of food and ingredients
          • Is creative, imaginative and interested in developing as a cook
          • Understands and appreciates seasonal, garden-to-table cooking, including preserving and making imaginative use of home-grown produce throughout the seasons
          • Is eager to learn from an experienced and knowledgeable Private Chef
          • Is receptive to guidance and keen to continually develop their skills
          • Has the intuition to learn and understand the family's individual preferences
          • Is personable, warm and comfortable interacting with the family
          • Is calm, organised, hardworking and reliable
          • Enjoys being part of a close-knit household and wider estate team
          • Is discreet, flexible and willing to muck in when required
          • Takes real pride in maintaining high standards

          Previous experience within a private household would be advantageous but is not essential. Good culinary training, strong foundations and, most importantly, the right attitude and enthusiasm are more important.

          A driving licence and own transport will be required due to the rural Cotswolds location.

           

          HOURS

          This is a full-time position working five days per week, with two consecutive days off during the week.

          Due to the nature of a private household, weekend work will form part of the role; however, the successful candidate will have, on average, one weekend off in every three throughout the year.

          Flexibility will be required around entertaining, family gatherings and the approximately five shoot weekends held each year.

           

          Salary: depending on experience 

           

          This really is a fantastic opportunity for someone who wants to begin or develop a career within a private household. The role offers the chance to work with wonderful ingredients in a beautiful setting, learn from an experienced Private Chef and become part of a friendly and established estate team.

                  • Head Chef — Proby's Kitchen, Cork

                    | Full-time | Cork City

                    Proby's Kitchen is one of Cork's celebrated independent restaurants, named in the Sunday Times Top 100 Restaurants in Ireland and described by the Irish Examiner as "one of the city's most enjoyable restaurant experiences." We cook food rooted in brilliant simplicity — fresh, local, seasonal, with named provenance and genuine craft on every plate.

                    We are looking for a Head Chef who believes the same things we do.

                     

                    The role

                    This is a kitchen leadership position with full creative input. You will lead a small team in a busy daytime and evening operation, cooking a menu that changes with the seasons and reflects the best of what Cork and its surrounds produce. You will work directly with the owners on menu development, sourcing, and the ongoing food identity of the restaurant.

                    Proby's Kitchen is not a hotel kitchen and not a chain. There are no corporate recipe books, no executive chef above you, and no compromise on quality. This is an opportunity to put your name on a kitchen that people are already talking about.

                     

                    What we're looking for

                    • A chef with proven experience at head chef or senior sous chef level in a quality independent restaurant
                    • Someone who cooks with confidence and curiosity — strong on technique, stronger on flavour
                    • Experience with Irish, local, seasonal and produce-led menus and a genuine interest in where food comes from
                    • Leadership that brings a kitchen team with it rather than ruling over it
                    • Commercial awareness — food cost, waste, and GP are part of the job
                    • HACCP certified and kitchen-operations competent
                    •  

                    What we offer

                    • Creative freedom over menu development and seasonal direction
                    • A well-run, well-equipped kitchen with strong operational backing — so you can concentrate on the food
                    • This role is designed around a 40-hour working week, allowing you to focus on food quality, leadership and creativity without the excessive hours often associated with this position

                                | Full-time | Cork City

                                Proby's Kitchen is one of Cork's celebrated independent restaurants, named in the Sunday Times Top 100 Restaurants in Ireland and described by the Irish Examiner as "one of the city's most enjoyable restaurant experiences." We cook food rooted in brilliant simplicity — fresh, local, seasonal, with named provenance and genuine craft on every plate.

                                We are looking for a Head Chef who believes the same things we do.

                                 

                                The role

                                This is a kitchen leadership position with full creative input. You will lead a small team in a busy daytime and evening operation, cooking a menu that changes with the seasons and reflects the best of what Cork and its surrounds produce. You will work directly with the owners on menu development, sourcing, and the ongoing food identity of the restaurant.

                                Proby's Kitchen is not a hotel kitchen and not a chain. There are no corporate recipe books, no executive chef above you, and no compromise on quality. This is an opportunity to put your name on a kitchen that people are already talking about.

                                 

                                What we're looking for

                                • A chef with proven experience at head chef or senior sous chef level in a quality independent restaurant
                                • Someone who cooks with confidence and curiosity — strong on technique, stronger on flavour
                                • Experience with Irish, local, seasonal and produce-led menus and a genuine interest in where food comes from
                                • Leadership that brings a kitchen team with it rather than ruling over it
                                • Commercial awareness — food cost, waste, and GP are part of the job
                                • HACCP certified and kitchen-operations competent
                                •  

                                What we offer

                                • Creative freedom over menu development and seasonal direction
                                • A well-run, well-equipped kitchen with strong operational backing — so you can concentrate on the food
                                • This role is designed around a 40-hour working week, allowing you to focus on food quality, leadership and creativity without the excessive hours often associated with this position
                                • A small, committed team and owners who are hands-on and invested in the food
                                • The platform of a Top 100 restaurant and a ready-made reputation in the Cork food scene to build on

We cook food rooted in brilliant simplicity — fresh, local, seasonal, with named provenance and genuine craft on every plate.

                                                                    We are looking for a Head Chef who believes the same things we do.

You will lead a small team in a busy daytime and evening operation, cooking a menu that changes with the seasons and reflects the best of what Cork and its surrounds produce. You will work directly with the owners on menu development, sourcing, and the ongoing food identity of the restaurant.

                                                                    Proby's Kitchen is not a hotel kitchen and not a chain. There are no corporate recipe books, no executive chef above you, and no compromise on quality. This is an opportunity to put your name on a kitchen that people are already talking about.

The successful candidate will work closely alongside a highly experienced and knowledgeable Private Chef, with the opportunity to learn, evolve and gradually take on greater responsibility.

                                                                                                            At the heart of the role is delicious, unfussy and beautifully prepared home cooking, with a strong emphasis on seasonality and making the very best use of produce grown in the estate's extensive kitchen garden and from the wider farm.

Making the most of seasonal abundance is an important part of the kitchen, including preserving, pickling and preparing home-grown produce to be enjoyed throughout the year.

They enjoy entertaining at home, particularly Sunday lunches for approximately 8–12 guests, as well as around five shoot weekends throughout the year.

In fact, this could be an exceptional first step into private service for a young or newly trained cook with excellent foundations, natural ability and a genuine desire to learn.

                                                                                                            A Ballymaloe-trained candidate would be particularly welcomed, or someone from a similar background with a genuine appreciation for seasonal, produce-led cooking.

Good culinary training, strong foundations and, most importantly, the right attitude and enthusiasm are more important.

                                                                                                            A driving licence and own transport will be required due to the rural Cotswolds location.

We cook food rooted in brilliant simplicity — fresh, local, seasonal, with named provenance and genuine craft on every plate.

                                                                                                                      We are looking for a Head Chef who believes the same things we do.

You will lead a small team in a busy daytime and evening operation, cooking a menu that changes with the seasons and reflects the best of what Cork and its surrounds produce. You will work directly with the owners on menu development, sourcing, and the ongoing food identity of the restaurant.

                                                                                                                      Proby's Kitchen is not a hotel kitchen and not a chain. There are no corporate recipe books, no executive chef above you, and no compromise on quality. This is an opportunity to put your name on a kitchen that people are already talking about.

You should love hospitality, know how to handle a busy NYC service, and understand that a great bartender doesn’t just make drinks — you create the night.

                                                                                                                                    Wine and gin knowledge is a plus, but curiosity, personality and willingness to learn are essential.

We want servers who can read a table, recommend food and wine with confidence, and make guests feel like they discovered their new favorite neighborhood spot.

                                                                                                                                    NYC experience is preferred, but attitude, reliability and ambition matter more than a perfect résumé.

                                                                                                                                    You should be comfortable creating and filming content, developing ideas, following trends and helping us tell the Enoteca story in a fresh, stylish and authentic way.

                                                                                                                                    WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR
