About the Role
At Sam’s Riverside, we believe in creating a welcoming and inclusive environment for both our guests and our team. Founded in 2019 by renowned restaurateur Sam Harrison and business partner Fanny Stocker, our menus celebrate the finest seasonal produce from across the UK, focusing on Anglo-French cuisine. We pride ourselves on sourcing ingredients from small artisan suppliers to ensure quality and freshness in every dish. Complementing our food is a carefully curated wine list, handpicked by Sam himself, featuring selections from wineries he has personally visited.
As a Chef de Partie, you will take charge of a specific kitchen section, ensuring dishes are consistently executed to the highest standards. You will be responsible for prepping, cooking, and plating food using the finest seasonal ingredients, upholding our Anglo-French culinary roots. Working closely with your fellow chefs, you will maintain a clean, organised kitchen, guide junior team members, and deliver exceptional quality during every service. This is a fantastic opportunity for a skilled and passionate chef looking to progress in a supportive and award-winning hospitality environment.
Sam's Genuine Restaurants Group awards include being named the 11th best place to work in Hospitality in the UK by Caterer in 2023, recent nominations for Catey's Restaurateur of the Year 2023, and being voted the 2nd favourite restaurant in London in the 2023 Harden's Guide.
