Head Chef – Humble Grape Crouch End
Where sustainability meets seriously good food & wine
Humble Grape is all about sustainable, seasonal dining paired with a cracking glass of wine. We champion zero-waste cooking, nose-to-tail thinking, and menus built around organic produce. Everything is made in-house, from scratch, with creativity and integrity at the heart of it.
Our Crouch End restaurant is an exciting, developing venue (closed Mondays & Tuesdays), and we’re looking for a hands-on, passionate, and imaginative Head Chef to lead the kitchen and help us take it to the next level. Because this is a neighbourhood restaurant at heart, we’d love someone who’s committed to the area (ideally based nearby) and who understands what makes a local gem thrive.
What we’re looking for:
- Proven Head Chef (or strong Sous ready to step up) with experience running a kitchen smoothly- costs, training, rotas, and menu development included.
- A genuine love for seasonal cooking, with a zero-waste mindset and respect for quality produce.
- Creative flair, with the confidence to bring new ideas to the table.
- A leader who’s kind, communicative, and supportive - someone who builds teams as well as dishes.
- Flexibility to work Wednesday–Sunday with full commitment.
What’s in it for you:
- 50% discount across all Humble Grape venues
- Cycle to Work scheme
- Reward & recognition platform for excellence
- Weekly wine training with our WSET-qualified Wine Team
- Annual staff events & referral bonuses
Salary £42000.00 per year.
This is a brilliant opportunity to put your stamp on a growing venue, work with amazing produce, and be part of a group that actually walks the sustainability talk.
