Chef de Partie

Chef de Partie – Pillar Hall, Olympia

Up to £18.00 per hour | 40 hours per week | West London 

Be part of something exciting at one of London’s most iconic destinations.

Pillar Hall is an exceptional restaurant, bar and events venue located within the iconic Olympia in West London. Set within the stunning Grade II listed Pillar Hall, our restaurant Idalia celebrates outstanding British produce, while our events operation delivers an exciting programme of private, corporate and large-scale events.

As our operation continues to grow, we’re looking for talented and ambitious Chefs de Partie to join our kitchen team.

This isn’t a role where every day looks the same.

Depending on your experience and interests, you could be working within our restaurant kitchen, supporting event preparation and production, or gaining experience across both sides of the operation. It’s a fantastic opportunity for chefs who enjoy variety, high standards and being part of an ambitious, growing team.

What you’ll be doing

As Chef de Partie, you’ll take ownership of your section and play an important part in delivering consistently excellent food.

You will:

• Prepare, cook and present dishes to a consistently high standard.
• Take ownership of your section, ensuring it is organised and fully prepared for service.
• Work across restaurant service and/or event preparation and production, depending on your role.
• Deliver high-quality food efficiently for both restaurant service and larger-scale events.
• Follow recipes, portion controls and presentation standards.
• Work closely with senior chefs and the wider kitchen team to deliver smooth, successful services.
• Maintain excellent food safety, hygiene and kitchen standards.
• Manage stock carefully, minimise waste and ensure ingredients are stored and rotated correctly.
• Support junior members of the kitchen team when required.
• Stay calm, organised and hands-on during busy services and production periods.

What we’re looking for

We’re looking for chefs who take pride in what they do and genuinely care about the food leaving the kitchen.

You’ll ideally have:

• Previous experience as a Chef de Partie or in a similar role within a quality restaurant, hotel, events or hospitality environment.
• Strong culinary skills and excellent attention to detail.
• A genuine passion for producing great food.
• A proactive, positive and team-focused approach.
• Strong organisation and time-management skills.
• The ability to perform well in a busy, fast-paced kitchen.
• High standards of food safety, hygiene and cleanliness.
• The legal right to work in the UK.

Experience in high-volume event preparation or production would be a great advantage for our event-focused positions.

The role

• Up to £18.00 per hour
• 40-hour contract
• Monday–Sunday operation
• A variety of positions across restaurant service and event preparation/production
• Working patterns will depend on the specific position and business requirements

For some event-focused positions, late-night or overnight shifts may be required. We’ll discuss the exact working pattern and requirements with you during the interview so you know exactly what to expect.

Why join Pillar Hall?

We want people to build their careers with us, not simply fill a position.

You’ll receive:

• 28–30 days’ holiday per year, increasing with length of service
• Uniform provided
• Meal on duty
• Employee reward programmes and long-service awards
• Internal training and genuine opportunities for career progression
• Experience across restaurant and large-scale event operations
• A supportive, professional and ambitious kitchen environment
• The opportunity to grow your career within an exciting hospitality group
• The chance to work at one of West London’s most iconic venues
