ABOUT THE JOB:
We’re looking for a Sous Chef with drive, creativity, and a genuine love of great food. At Henry’s, nothing matters more than crafting dishes that people come back for — and building a team that shares that same care and attention to detail. From developing menus to nurturing new talent, you’ll help shape a kitchen that runs smoothly, cooks beautifully, and takes pride in every plate that leaves the pass.
Henry’s is part of Woodford - a growing family of characterful places to eat, drink, and stay. You’ll be joining a team that’s proud to deliver exceptional food and service, with opportunities to grow and move across the business as you do.
YOUR DAY-TO-DAY WILL INVOLVE:
Lead by example, setting clear standards for your team and ensuring they are met at all times.
Encourage attention to detail throughout the kitchen and maintain a culture of care and precision.
Follow company and Head Chef standards to maintain consistency across all dishes.
Monitor customer feedback — positive and negative — and take action to continually improve.
Manage kitchen margins through effective stock control, waste reduction, and accurate monitoring of deliveries.
Foster a positive, collaborative team culture where everyone feels supported and motivated to deliver great service.
Oversee all aspects of kitchen health and safety, including stock rotation, food labelling, cleaning schedules, and completion of H&S records.
