Commis Chef - MA/NA
30 Upper Grosvenor Street, Mayfair

About MA/NA

Opening in early 2026 on Upper Grosvenor Street, MA/NA is born from the Japanese philosophy that every ingredient carries an invisible power — a life-force shaped by nature and the hands that honour it.

‘Mana’ is the spiritual energy that exists beneath the surface of all things. It is felt rather than seen — transforming emotion into experience, and a meal into memory.

Guided by this belief, MA/NA will offer a seamless blend of restaurant and bar, refined Japanese dishes alongside an exceptional cocktail, wine and sake list. Here, cocktails flow effortlessly into dinner, and dinner naturally returns to drinks.

Every element of MA/NA, from design and service to sound and light, is intentional. Each detail celebrates the extraordinary within the simple.

The Role - Commis Chef

As Commis Chef, you will support the Chef de Partie and wider kitchen team in delivering MA/NA’s food offering to the highest standard.

You will assist with preparation and service across kitchen sections, ensuring care, consistency and attention to detail in every dish. This role provides an excellent opportunity to build strong culinary foundations while learning modern techniques in a calm, disciplined kitchen environment.

What We’re Looking For

• Previous experience as a Commis Chef or relevant kitchen experience in a high-end or quality-driven restaurant
• Passion for high-quality ingredients and refined cuisine
• Willingness to learn and develop new skills within a professional kitchen
• Good organisation and ability to work efficiently during service
• A positive attitude, reliability and strong work ethic

What We Offer

• Competitive salary and service charge
• Opportunities for growth and progression within the Thesleff Group
• Training under experienced senior chefs with international backgrounds
• Staff meals and wellness initiatives
• A respectful, collaborative working environment focused on craft and excellence

Join the MA/NA Opening Team

If you’re inspired by balance, technique, creativity and detail — and want to begin or grow your career within a kitchen team that celebrates the extraordinary within the simple — we’d love to hear from you.
