Are you an experienced Chef de Partie or Senior Chef de Partie looking for a role where you can cook at a high level without giving up your evenings and weekends?

This is a fantastic opportunity to join the hospitality team of a prestigious international law firm, moving into a brand-new site in the heart of the City of London.
