Sous Chef

About us:

Situated right in the middle of Balham and Clapham South tube station, The Devonshire is a popular and well-established pub and dining spot in Balham.
A fast-paced atmosphere is in all areas of the business but we also focus on the small details that make our customers have a memorable stay.
Teamwork is key during the busier times, with communication skills being a high priority. Every year, our large self-contained garden is transformed with seasons - Balham Peaks in the winter- SW Urban Aprés-Ski resort & Balham Beach Club in the summer.
We love to work with open people, people with ideas, and energy and who are passionate about their life. Be yourself, be courteous and make conscious decisions. We will expand your knowledge of foods, wines, beers, cocktails, and coffee as you make new friends and look at your career with us helping you on your way to the bigger picture. We know life isn’t black and white so we will try to be as flexible as we can when given enough notice. Apply if you want to be a part of our vision, culture and the vibe we’re creating.

What we look for in a Sous Chef:
