EXECUTIVE CHEF – LIFESTYLE LUXURY HOTEL, LONDON

This is a senior role within a design-driven luxury hotel in central London, known for its creative atmosphere, strong sense of community and busy, all-day food and drink scene. The hotel attracts a mix of hotel guests, London locals and a global audience who come as much for the energy as they do for the stay.

Food and drink sit at the heart of the experience. The operation includes a destination restaurant, a relaxed but high-quality casual dining concept, cocktail‑led bar food, events, room service and staff dining. Menus are rooted in quality produce, confident flavours and global influence, delivered in a way that feels accessible rather than formal.

You will lead the entire culinary operation, shape the food culture and be a visible, hands‑on presence across the hotel.
