? CHEF DE PARTIE – THE SHIP, WANDSWORTH

Ready to turn up the heat? ?

The Ship is a legendary riverside pub sitting right on the Thames, serving up great food, cold drinks and good times since 1786. We’re all about big summer days, busy services, packed terraces, DJs, live music and an atmosphere that keeps our team moving.

We’re looking for a Chef de Partie to jump into the action and join our kitchen crew.

Whether you’re already smashing it as a CDP or you’re a talented Commis Chef ready to step up, this could be your next move.

? WHAT’S IN IT FOR YOU?

We want our chefs to grow, develop and progress — not stay in the same place.

• Career progression – our CDP → Sous Chef development programme gives you a clear path to the top. The majority of our Head Chefs started their Young’s journey in-house.

• Culinary Masterclasses – sharpen your skills and learn from some seriously talented chefs.

• Apprenticeship opportunities – earn a nationally recognised qualification while you work.

• Weekly pay

• Service charge

• Free staff meals

• 20% off across all Young’s Pubs

• 30% off overnight stays at our Pubs with Rooms

• 28 days’ holiday

• Company pension scheme

• Sharesave scheme

?‍? WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR

We need someone who loves being in the kitchen.

Someone who gets a buzz from a busy service, takes pride in every plate and wants to keep learning and getting better.

You’ll be:

• An experienced Chef de Partie, or a strong Commis Chef ready to take the next step.

• Passionate about fresh, quality food and consistently high standards.

• Confident working in a fast-paced, high-volume kitchen.

• Hands-on, organised and able to take ownership of your section.

• A proper team player who communicates well and keeps their cool when the tickets start flying.

• Hungry to learn, develop and take on more responsibility.

• Keen to get involved with new dishes, specials and menu development.

• Commercially aware, with an understanding of GP, waste and labour controls.

• Someone who understands that great food and great service go hand in hand.

⚓ WHY THE SHIP?

Because no two days are the same.

One day you could be powering through a busy summer service with the riverside packed, the next you're cooking for a huge event with the whole pub buzzing.

Big services. Big atmosphere. Great food. Great people.

If you’re ready to step up, get stuck in and build your career with a kitchen team that knows how to work hard and have fun doing it — we want to hear from you.
