Description
Chef de Partie 
 Cook with passion. Grow your craft. Be part of something special.  

Pay: Hourly rate £12.40 + £4–£5 per hour in Tronc (on average) In addition to your standard hourly wage, you'll receive a share of Tronc, of which 100% is distributed to the team.

Pasture Cardiff is our bold second chapter — a true lockdown baby that’s grown into one of the city’s most vibrant dining destinations. Nestled in the heart of Cardiff, just steps from the iconic Cardiff Castle, the restaurant is built for theatre, energy, and unforgettable nights.

Our open kitchen puts live-fire cooking at the heart of the experience, with charcoal grills and dry-ageing cabinets on full display. On weekends, our resident DJ keeps the energy high late into the evening — because at Pasture, dining is a show, not just a meal.

We proudly source our beef from pasture-raised cattle across Wales and the South West, working closely with local farmers and producers to bring the best of the region to the table. Our beautiful terrace in the city centre adds a unique alfresco edge — perfect for cocktails, people-watching, and those long summer nights.

We’re looking for passionate, positive, and driven individuals to join our Cardiff crew — people who thrive in a fast-paced, high-energy environment and are ready to be part of something special.

Sound like you? Come fire things up at Pasture Cardiff. 

We’re looking for a skilled and enthusiastic Chef de Partie to join the hardworking, high-energy kitchen team at Pasture. If you thrive in a fast-paced environment, love working with the very best local ingredients, and take real pride in your cooking, this is a chance to be part of something exciting.

What We’re Looking For

We’re after a Chef de Partie who’s genuinely passionate about food, fired up by service, and proud of every plate they send out. You’ll need to bring strong attention to detail, energy, and a drive for high standards, we’re busy, the expectations are high, and the food has to be consistently excellent. Ideally, you’ll have at least 2 years of experience at CDP or strong demi level, working in quality kitchens with fresh, seasonal produce. You’ll be someone who works well in a large, collaborative team and thrives on getting stuck in. In return, you’ll join a supportive, creative environment where learning, growth, and innovation are part of everyday life.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Preparing and executing dishes to an exceptional standard, during high-paced services

  • Working closely with your station team to maintain precision, speed, and consistency

  • Collaborating with the wider kitchen to ensure smooth, efficient service across all sections

  • Maintaining strong prep systems and mise en place to keep ahead of demand

  • Contributing ideas to menu development and helping bring new dishes to life

  • Following all hygiene, food safety, and health & safety procedures (HACCP knowledge a plus)

  • Supporting junior chefs through coaching, teamwork, and a lead-by-example approach

  • Taking pride in every plate and every detail from taste and texture to timing and presentation

You

You’re a focused, passionate chef with a serious love for cooking and a calm, can-do approach. You work well under pressure, stay sharp in busy services, and care deeply about the quality of every dish that leaves the pass. You’re organised, disciplined, and motivated to push yourself further every day. You value working as part of a strong team, sharing knowledge, and learning from those around you. Whether you’re deep into prep, working the grill, or plating up on a packed Friday night, you bring your best, and you’re hungry to keep growing.

Benefits at Pasture:

  • The hourly rate shown includes a competitive share of Tronc: 100% of Tronc is distributed to the staff.
  • 28 days holiday - including bank holidays
  • 20% off food and drink in our restaurants for up to six people
  • Opportunity for growth and progression
  • Long service benefits
  • 1 day of paid volunteering per year, with a charity of your choice
  • Regular staff trips are arranged to our farm and to our suppliers
  • Employee assistance program provided by Hospitality Action
  • Enhanced Maternity & Paternity Pay
  • Wagestream
  • Company events and parties
In a nutshell, Pasture is about fine dining for everyone, with slick, engaging service, top-quality food and a team whose knowledge is as strong as its passion.
