kitchen.

head chef

Are you a head-chef-in-waiting or a sous chef ready to take a step up? Unwined might have just the role for you… 

creative small company • work life balance • exciting sector • supportive culture

Unwined Bars has an exciting opportunity for a talented, creative & organised chef to manage our Waterloo Kitchen. 

• 45 hours p/wk, no early starts

• mostly Mon-Fri, occasional Sat events

• bank holidays off

• grow with an exciting, young (but experienced) company

• small, hard working, supportive team

• feed your creativity with bi-monthly menu changes

• learn about wine & wine pairings

This role will suit someone who enjoys working within a small team and who is keen to be a hands-on manager. Through working closely with the owners/ops manager you will also have the opportunity to learn in person about day-to-day operations of a restaurant/bar (from front to back of house), team development and business growth.

Ideally you will have experience in a sous chef role or similar, with responsibilities including managing rotas, running services, curating menus (see more below), managing people and meeting targets (financial and others).

Unwined’s aim is to take the snobbery out of wine and make it more accessible. Our focus is on wine, but the food offering plays a big role at Unwined in Waterloo. The food menus change every 2 months, with dishes created to pair with the current wine list, rather than the traditional way of the wine paired to the food. We have a structure for the menu and inspiration for flavours which will help guide your menu development. 

Salary will be a combination of a base remuneration + service charge, with a combined offer of between £35-39,000 per annum (dependent on candidate experience). 20 days paid annual leave + bank holidays off, and workplace pension as standard. 

Team and individual development are core beliefs for Unwined. We believe hospitality can be a rewarding and exciting industry, and we strive to do better for our employees than historic norms; we value work/life balance, foster mutual respect, encourage open communication, and nurture creativity and engagement.
