About the Role
We’re on the lookout for a Head Chef to become part of our TRIBE community as we continue to make waves in London. Our first TRIBE hotel launched in summer 2022, redefining hospitality for a new generation of travellers. TRIBE hotels offer unapologetically modern design that confidently mixes mainstream style with bespoke, eye-catching pieces, creating a bold and fun environment for a high-end experience at a fair price.

‘Feels Like June’ is a California-inspired restaurant with bright flavours, summer vibes, and a Europe-meets-West Coast flair where hotel guests and local residents come together to enjoy everything from breakfast to dinner, cocktails, or simply working from the lounge area.

As Head Chef, you will plan, create, innovate and develop menus aligned with the brand concept and seasonal availability. You will ensure all dishes meet quality, taste and presentation standards while maintaining consistency in food preparation and portion control. Leading, training and motivating the kitchen team will be key, fostering a positive, efficient and professional kitchen culture.

You will organise staff rotas, manage labour costs and workload effectively, conduct performance reviews, and support staff development. Ensuring compliance with food safety, health & safety and hygiene regulations is essential. You will monitor food costs, minimise waste, manage the kitchen budget, and work with suppliers to ensure quality and cost effectiveness.

Supporting special events, tastings and menu launches, you will work closely with the Food & Beverage Manager. Both guest and team experience will be at the heart of all you do. You will lead by example, keeping your team involved and motivated, empowering them to provide the best TRIBE experiences for guests and feel confident turning to you with questions.
