Job Description

Head Chef - Humble Grape Crouch End

Where sustainability meets seriously good food & wine


Humble Grape is all about sustainable, seasonal dining paired with a cracking glass of wine. We champion zero-waste cooking, nose-to-tail thinking, and menus built around organic produce. Everything is made in-house, from scratch, with creativity and integrity at the heart of it.


Our Crouch End restaurant is an exciting, developing venue (closed Mondays & Tuesdays), and we're looking for a hands-on, passionate, and imaginative Head Chef to lead the kitchen and help us take it to the next level. Because this is a neighbourhood restaurant at heart, we'd love someone who's committed to the area (ideally based nearby) and who understands what makes a local gem thrive.

What we're looking for:

Proven Head Chef (or strong Sous ready to step up) with experience running a kitchen smoothly- costs, training, rotas, and menu development included.
A genuine love for seasonal cooking, with a zero-waste mindset and respect for quality produce.
Creative flair, with the confidence to bring new ideas to the table.
A leader who's kind, communicative, and supportive - someone who builds teams as well as dishes.
Flexibility to work Wednesday-Sunday with full commitment.

What's in it for you:

50% discount across all Humble Grape venues
Cycle to Work scheme
Reward & recognition platform for excellence
Weekly wine training with our WSET-qualified Wine Team
Annual staff events & referral bonuses


Salary 42000.00 per year.


This is a brilliant opportunity to put your stamp on a growing venue, work with amazing produce, and be part of a group that actually walks the sustainability talk.
