Head Chef

HEAD CHEF – EXCLUSIVE NEW RESTAURANT IN SURREY 🌟. ONLY CANDIDATES LIVING IN SURREY – NO VISA SPONSORSHIP AVAILABLE. We’re calling out to talented Head Chefs (or Senior Sous Chefs ready to step up) based in Surrey — this is a rare opportunity to lead in one of the area’s most talked-about new restaurants.. 📍

Location:

Surrey. 💰 Salary:
From £50,000 (depending on experience). 🕓

Schedule:

4 days on (Wednesday–Saturday), 3 days off (Sunday–Tuesday).

Set in a premium location and already attracting celebrities and high-profile local guests, this intimate restaurant offers a small, refined menu with Asian influences.. Currently open three evenings per week:
Thursday (Open to the public), Friday & Saturday (Private, invitation-only service), Wednesday (Prep day). This is a secret concept, intentionally kept off the radar — there are no online listings, reviews, or Google presence. Guests discover it only through word of mouth or personal invitation, creating a discreet, exclusive atmosphere that’s become part of its identity. The venue’s mystery and prestige make it a truly unique project for any ambitious chef ready to be part of something exceptional..

The restaurant operates a late-night dining concept, with shifts typically finishing between 23:30pm and 12:30 a.m. Because of this, the position would best suit someone who drives or has reliable late-night transport..

• Lead a small, close-knit brigade.
• Maintain and elevate exceptional culinary standards.
• Help shape and grow a confidential, high-end concept already generating buzz across Surrey.
