EXECUTIVE CHEF – LIFESTYLE LUXURY HOTEL, LONDON
This is a senior role within a design-driven luxury hotel in central London, known for its creative atmosphere, strong sense of community and busy, all-day food and drink scene. The hotel attracts a mix of hotel guests, London locals and a global audience who come as much for the energy as they do for the stay.
Food and drink sit at the heart of the experience. The operation includes a destination restaurant, a relaxed but high-quality casual dining concept, cocktail‑led bar food, events, room service and staff dining. Menus are rooted in quality produce, confident flavours and global influence, delivered in a way that feels accessible rather than formal.
You will lead the entire culinary operation, shape the food culture and be a visible, hands‑on presence across the hotel.

- Lead, motivate and develop large teams across different styles of service.

- Champion cleanliness, structure and consistency.
THE BUSINESS SIDE
- Own food and labour costs across multiple outlets.
- Manage purchasing, suppliers and stock with a practical approach.
- Review performance regularly and make informed decisions.
- Balance creativity with commercial awareness.
FOOD & IDENTITY
- Deliver high‑quality food that fits the hotel’s lifestyle positioning.
- Lead menu development, seasonal changes and one‑off events.
- Focus on good sourcing, strong technique and flavour‑led cooking.
- Stay connected to London’s food scene and evolving guest expectations.
ABOUT YOU
- Experience as an Executive Chef or senior Executive Sous in a multi‑outlet hotel.
- Background in Michelin or Rosette‑level kitchens.
- Comfortable leading big teams in a fast‑moving environment.
- Approachable, calm and standards‑driven.
- Passionate about food, people and culture.
