The Breakfast Group was founded in 1991 and for over 30 years have operated some of the most vibrant and unique venues in London, bringing passion for creating experiences by designing memorable spaces for busy Londoners to meet, greet and have much-needed catch-ups.

Our front of house, back of house, and back-office teams reflect this passion, bringing flair and creativity to each venue to serve fantastic food, drinks, and ambience to everyone who walks through our doors. Each venue is entirely individual, so we've got somewhere to suit everyone, whether you're looking for somewhere to celebrate a special occasion or the perfect spot for a weekend brunch.

The Breakfast Group are proud to operate some of London's award-winning bars and restaurants. With over 30 years of experience in the industry and a fantastic team behind us, we know how to show hungry and thirsty Londoners a good time.

The Last Talisman is more than just a bar and restaurant – it’s a vibrant, eclectic space where bold flavours, creative cocktails, and unforgettable experiences come together. We are now looking for an inspiring Head Chef to lead our kitchen team and bring culinary flair to one of The Breakfast Group’s most exciting venues.

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a growing group with multiple venues across London, and to make your mark at a place known for its energy, style, and warm hospitality.

  • A Head Chef with proven experience in a similar high-volume, quality-driven environment

  • Strong leadership skills, with the ability to motivate and develop a dynamic team

  • Excellent knowledge of classic and contemporary cooking techniques

  • Creativity and confidence in contributing to menu development and new concepts

  • Commitment to maintaining the highest standards of consistency, presentation, and food safety

  • Calm under pressure with outstanding organisational and communication skills

  • A genuine passion for hospitality, food, and guest experience

What we offer in return:

  • Competitive industry-leading salary package

  • Weekly pay

  • Healthy work-life balance with flexibility where it counts

  • Free meals on shift

  • Share of service charge

  • 50% staff discount across all venues in The Breakfast Group

  • Pension scheme

  • A fun, supportive working environment with a like-minded team

  • Opportunities for progression across a growing group of venues

  • Ongoing training and personal development to help shape your career

The Venue

Expertly crafted cocktails and a sizzling Asian grill. Eat, Drink & Unwind at The Last Talisman!

Good fortune doesn’t come to those who wait, but to those who explore. And it comes in the form of tantalizing cocktails and mouth-watering small plates served straight from a sizzling Asian grill, right in the heart of Bermondsey Street.

Let us transport you to a world of beautiful furnishings and flavours. We are open Tuesdays to Sundays, serving lunch, brunch and dinner. We are based on Bermondsey Street short walk from London Bridge Station and Borough Market.

If you’re an ambitious Head Chef who thrives in a creative, fast-paced environment and you’re ready to take on the challenge of leading the kitchen at The Last Talisman, we’d love to hear from you.
