Junior Sous Chef

Jamie Oliver
London

Nestled up next to the iconic Theatre Royal Drury Lane, Jamie Oliver Catherine Street is a seriously special place to dine, bang in the heart of Covent Garden.

Diners can experience their favourite dishes from Jamie along with new and bespoke recipes. Coming from a family of publicans and having yielded a lifetime career changing the way we cook, Jamie has worked to showcase the best of British produce and dishes that are considered yet accessible.

  • Assume responsibility for the smooth running of the kitchen and the implementation of standards and profitability in the Head Chef's absence
  • Deliver, monitor and encourage the consistent and structured training of all new staff and their ongoing training & development.
