Nouvelle Garde
London

Excited to be part of a new opening in London? La Nouvelle Garde is bringing its vibrant take on a modern French Brasserie to Chelsea with Brasserie Olivia . We’re looking for high-energy talent to join the family!

If you love a fast-paced "people-led" rush and want to be part of a legendary grand opening, join us on the floor, in the kitchen, pastry, or at the bar!

About La Nouvelle Garde

We’re redefining the classics! Serving generous, beautifully executed French dishes in lively, high-energy spaces. Our restaurants are fast-paced, people-led and never stuffy. Quality matters. Atmosphere matters. But above all, team spirit is at the heart of everything we do!

What We're Offering

  • Average hourly salary: £15/hour (inclusive of Tronc)

  • We invest in our people, offering great career opportunities with new openings ahead!

Start date : As soon as possible

Why It’s Awesome to Join La Nouvelle Garde

  • GP service & EAP discount: because taking care of our teams matters as much as taking care of our guests: access to a virtual GP and confidential counselling, so you’re supported on and off shift

  • Everything is homemade; and when we say everything, we mean everything. We receive whole cuts of meat and entire fish, and everything is prepared in-house, the Nouvelle Garde way

  • 100% of your staff meal covered during working hours

  • 50% discount in all our brasseries to treat yourself

  • Lucrative referral scheme

More benefits to come

Key Responsibilities

  1. Food Excellence & Financial Discipline: Running your section to spec by preparing and cooking dishes to La Nouvelle Garde standards, while ensuring strict portion control and waste minimisation to manage food costs effectively

  2. Leadership & Operations: Leading by example on your section by supporting and training Commis Chefs and managing prep lists, mise en place, and stock rotation to ensure a smooth service flow

  3. Safety & Culture: Maintaining a clean, compliant section according to HACCP standards and using equipment responsibly to contribute to a focused and respectful kitchen culture

What We’re Looking For

  • Several experiences in busy, fast-paced restaurants, capable of handling the pressure of the "rush"

  • A deep sense of service and a passion for making guests feel truly cared for and valued

  • A calm, professional presence with strong organisational skills


Nouvelle Garde is an equal opportunities employer, and we view diversity as a key strength of our business.
