Salary: Competitive + Equal Share of Tips (£3–£6/hour)
Pay: Weekly
Start Date: Immediate

Riverstation is a multi-concept, high-volume restaurant located on Bristol’s iconic harbourside. While our first-floor restaurant focuses on refined British dining, our Pontoon Kitchen delivers fresh, bold, seasonal dishes in a more relaxed setting — think vibrant small plates, sharing boards, oysters, and brunches, all served right on the water.

We’re now looking for a skilled Chef de Partie to join the team running the Pontoon Kitchen, taking ownership of your section, maintaining quality under pressure, and contributing to a kitchen that delivers 200+ covers a day at peak times — all while pushing for excellence in everything we do.

• Run your section with confidence, organisation, and consistency

• Prep, cook, and plate dishes according to spec and service standards

• Keep quality and timing tight during fast-paced, high-volume services

• Strong knife skills and a solid grasp of core kitchen techniques

• Confident handling of fresh fish, meat, veg, and larder prep

• Understanding of simple ferments, pickling, garnishing, and plating for a seasonal small plates menu

• Support your fellow chefs and keep communication tight during service

• Work closely with the Senior Sous to maintain standards and support kitchen systems

• Step up when needed to help juniors or lead during service changeovers

• Maintain food hygiene, temperature logs, and daily prep systems

• Keep your section spotless, well-stocked, and organised

• Follow all health and safety and allergen procedures

✅ Minimum 2–3 years experience in high-volume, quality-focused kitchens
✅ A cool head during pressure services — we often serve 200+ covers per day
✅ Confidence working with seasonal produce and sharing-style menus
✅ A passion for casual dining done exceptionally well
✅ Strong time management, mise en place organisation, and plating consistency
✅ Team player who thrives in open, energetic kitchen environments

• Very competitive base salary + equal share of tips (approx. £3–£6/hour)

• Weekly pay

• Creative, seasonal cooking with high-quality produce

• A beautiful waterside location to work in every day

• Staff meals, uniforms, discounts and wellbeing perks

• A supportive, growing team with career progression opportunities across the restaurant

If you love the buzz of a busy kitchen, thrive under pressure, and take pride in delivering bold, seasonal food with precision — the Pontoon Kitchen could be your next great move.

Apply now with your CV and a short note telling us why you're the right fit for our team.
