Breakfast Chef

Claridge’s

We are seeking an enthusiastic Breakfast Chef to join our team within our highly anticipated new venue, Claridge’s Restaurant.

Set in the heart of Mayfair, Claridge’s is an art deco icon and a byword for understated elegance. Since the 1850s, Claridge’s has excelled at the finer things in life: glamorous design, inspiring dining, impeccable service. There are many 5-star hotels in London but nowhere quite like Claridge’s. The hotel is a unique combination of splendour and charm with long-standing connections with royalty that have led to it sometimes being referred to as “annexe to Buckingham Palace”. Claridge’s has a famous all-day dining and Afternoon Tea restaurant the ‘Foyer & Reading Room’, L’Epicerie that offers a culinary theatre of the kitchen, and three bars: Claridge’s Bar, the intimate Fumoir and effortlessly elegant Painter’s Room.

Claridge’s Restaurant has gently opened its art deco doors onto Davies Street, as it embarks on a new era in its long history. This classically inspired but contemporary British restaurant – which will fully open in September – is now operated in house by the hotel itself. It was previously known as Claridge’s Restaurant over 20 years ago.

As a Breakfast Chef you will be responsible for:

• Assisting the Sous Chefs in the preparation and service of food for the breakfast service
• Ensuring that the highest standards are maintained at all times and also be expected to make sure that the Kitchen areas, equipment and utensils are always kept clean and tidy to the standards required

• Demonstrate genuine dedication to Claridge’s and show a commitment to consistent quality in our product and service.
• Be able to communicate effectively with internal staff, suppliers and clients, maximise resources and adhere to strict Hygiene standards and Health and Safety regulations.

• Be motivated, creative and have worked in a similar role within a five star or fine dining environment, with a passion for food and quality products, be a team player who is an avid learner who wants to be challenged and developed.
