Head Chef

London

Shepherd Neame is on the lookout for a dynamic Head Chef to join our team, so if you have previous experience at a senior chef level and you are looking for a new and rewarding challenge in the kitchen; this may be just the job for you.

The Westminster Arms is a traditional London pub located just a stone’s throw away from the Houses of Parliament - it even features a division bell so MPs can dash back to the House in time for the vote! Opposite the Queen Elizabeth II Conference Centre and close to Westminster Abbey the Westminster Arms offers our diverse range of customers a warm friendly welcome together with great food and drink.

We know that an excellent Head Chef is one of the most key ingredients to a successful kitchen, so this role will see you working alongside the General Manager to deliver key objectives, customer satisfaction and growth at your site.
