West End, United Kingdom Sabor Full time
Sabor are seeking a Head Chef to join their team. The successful candidate will be friendly, personable and passionate about all things food and drink. This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced Head Chef looking for a new role in an award winning, critically acclaimed group.
The Restaurant
Founded by Nieves Barragan and José Etura, Sabor (meaning flavour in Spanish) takes you on a journey from the tapas bars of Andalucía, through to the asadors of Castile and the seafood restaurants of Galicia. Sabor focuses on capturing the flavour of Spain as well as showcasing the use of traditional ingredients and cooking methods, and a relaxed approach to dining. The quality of the produce our kitchen enjoys is unparalleled. Upstairs in the Asador, whole suckling pigs are cooked in the wood-fired oven, and octopus are simmered in giant copper pots. Downstairs in the restaurant, a seafood counter sits next to dining bar, where guests can oversee the kitchen in full service. Sabor was awarded a coveted Michelin Star in 2018
The Position
As Head Chef, you will be responsible for ensuring the delivery of consistent, high quality and innovative dishes and specials; you will play a key role in menu development, working closely with the Directors. You will manage the overall kitchen operation, including prep schedules, stock control, budgeting and maintenance, as well as the day to day management of the kitchen team.
If you have the following, then we want to hear from you:
Previous experience as a Head Chef or Senior Sous Chef in a high quality Restaurant;
Strong awareness of trends and seasonality of produce;
A highly creative approach to your work with excellent attention to detail;
Proven ability to manage, train and motivate a Kitchen brigade;
Experience in managing staff costs, scheduling and reviewing staff rotas;
