Harbour House is one of Bristol’s most exciting destinations—set within a stunning 19th-century transit shed on the city’s iconic floating harbour. With a constant flow of guests from morning through to late evening, we are a high-energy restaurant delivering quality, consistency, and memorable experiences at scale.

Our menus celebrate the very best of the South West, with a strong emphasis on fresh, seasonal produce and exceptional seafood. From vibrant brunches and indulgent afternoon teas to busy dinner services and lively bar trade, our kitchen operates at pace—without ever compromising on quality.

We are now looking for a driven and experienced Sous Chef to help lead our busy, professional kitchen.

The Role

This is a hands-on leadership position in a fast-paced, high-volume environment. As Sous Chef, you will work closely with the Head Chef to ensure smooth day-to-day operations while maintaining exceptional food standards across all services.

Key responsibilities:

• Supporting the Head Chef in leading a high-performing kitchen team
• Driving consistency and quality across a large-volume service
• Running sections confidently during busy services
• Managing prep, service flow, and kitchen organisation
• Maintaining strict food safety and hygiene standards
• Controlling stock, ordering, and minimising waste
• Supporting GP targets and overall kitchen performance

What We’re Looking For

We’re seeking a chef who thrives under pressure and takes pride in delivering high standards at scale.

You will:

• Have solid experience as a Sous Chef or strong Junior Sous in a high-volume, fresh-food environment
• Be confident managing busy services and large cover numbers
• Have a passion for seasonal produce and from-scratch cooking
• Be organised, proactive, and calm under pressure
• Bring energy, leadership, and a positive team mentality
• Have the drive to progress and develop within a quality-led business

Why Join Harbour House?

This is more than just another kitchen role—it’s an opportunity to be part of a flagship, high-performing venue where standards matter and progression is real.

We offer:

• Competitive salary
• 28 days holiday
• Generous staff discounts
• A supportive and professional working environment
