What's in it for you?
Craft, Creativity and Community - we are Company of Cooks! These are our values, and they go far beyond corporate waffle. In fact, they set the tone for everything we do. Company of Cooks have been working with some of the UK's most cherished venues since 1996, delighting customers and clients alike with great food and drinks, brilliant service and an absolute focus on the details that make good restaurants, cafes and bars, great ones. In October 2019 the company was brought into the CH&CO family. The completion of the deal saw Company of Cooks become the group's go-to operators in heritage and performance venues, art galleries and destinations.
We are excited to be recruiting for an experienced Sous Chef for our new pizza operation at London's iconic Southbank Centre - Europe's largest arts complex. Home to hundreds of performances, events and exhibitions each year, and incorporating some of London's best known seasonal outdoor bars, Company of Cooks manages a total of 14 different retail outlets on site, from speciality coffee shops to rooftop cocktail bars and late-night live music venues as well as overseeing a thriving events catering business.
We are about to embark on an ambitious multi-million-pound refurbishment programme ahead of the 75th Anniversary of the opening of Royal Festival Hall. In April 2024 we will be launching a brand-new pizza concept overlooking the Southbank Centre's Riverside Terrace. We are excited to be recruiting for an experienced and passionate pizza expert to lead this project through to opening and beyond, building a brilliant team, developing and refining the product with our culinary team, and delivering a consistent, great quality food offer to an incredibly diverse and ever-changing audience in one of London's most iconic public buildings. With lots planned for 2024 this is a position that offers growth and progression for the right person with lots of autonomy to shape this new brand and concept while also benefitting from the support of an onsite team of over 100 people., Company of Cooks was formed in 1996 to run the catering services at Kenwood House on behalf of English Heritage. At the time, others said it set the standard for outdoor public space food service. Time Out awarded it a Red Star in their Annual Restaurant Guide and named it one of the top places to eat, then virtually unheard of for a visitor attraction catering operation.
Working with Company of Cooks has its perks! People are at the heart of everything we do, so we've developed a range of benefits to keep you happy.
Company of Cooks officially formed part of CH&CO Catering Group Ltd in 2020.
