An outstanding opportunity has arisen for a Chef De Partie to join this inventive and exciting team at this trending restaurant and cocktail bar in the lovely leafy Twickenham.

Managing and training any demi-chef de parties or commis working with you
Helping the sous chef and head chef to develop new dishes and menus
