For our restaurant The Idler near London Victoria Station we are looking for a Commis Chef
The concept
Nestled in the heart of London, our location is more than just a restaurant or bar; it's a mindset that embraces
balance between work and life. Here, time slows down, but your ambitions are still welcome, because we believe
life is too short to be busy without purpose.
Enjoy small plates crafted to energize you without disrupting your flow, and let our drinks guide you from midday
inspiration into a leisurely evening. So come, and embrace the art of doing nothing.
Our restaurant will be a place for breakfast and all day dining. The kitchen and bar are working together very
closely since there is an open kitchen bar that runs through the restaurant. The restaurant will be serving an all
day food menu that consists of creative and high quality dishes to share (or not). The all day dining menu plays
tribute with a playful spin on British Classics where dishes are uncomplicated, true to their ingredients and have a
real punch on British produce. Next to a restaurant and bar, the location offers three 8 pax meeting rooms and a Deli.
