Sous Chef

About us:

 The Castle, Islington is on the famous Pentonville road. With our stunning roof terrace & bar, we cater for fabulous summer parties & events, while also keeping our traditional pub feel with cosy & welcoming in our main bar downstairs. Our menu changes with the seasons, but always a vibrant twist on British classics. We're looking for energetic hospitality superstars with BIG personalities, and in turn, we'll make sure you have all the knowledge you need in food, wines, beers & cocktails to move forward with us. You'll need to keep up with a fast paced environment when needed, ensuring every guest has the best & most memorable experience with us.

You will be instrumental in helping our head chef create recipes, develop the kitchen team and maintaining our high standards.  Fresh food experience is essential, our food vision is all about great British pub food with a twist, amazing Sunday Roasts so we are looking for someone to put their own stamp on this menu.
