Chef de Partie - Locke at Broken Wharf Millennium Bridge

As a Chef de Partie, you will play a key role in delivering high-quality dishes and maintaining excellent food standards within the kitchen. You will be responsible for managing your designated section, preparing and cooking dishes to the highest standards, and ensuring consistency, presentation, and food safety at all times. You will help ensure smooth kitchen operations and an exceptional dining experience for every guest. If you are passionate about cooking, take pride in your culinary skills, and thrive in a fast-paced, team-oriented environment, this is the perfect opportunity for you.

THE STAGE IS SET

The stage is set for something different. We don’t run conventional hotels; we build places with character and intent.

What began as a small UK aparthotel portfolio has grown into a European collection recognised for design and atmosphere - and we’re now entering a new chapter. As we redefine the brand and evolve our identity, we’re focused on creating spaces that feel compelling, contemporary, and truly distinctive. Locke leads with bold expression; Cove by Locke refines that same spirit into a quieter, more streamlined approach.

Guests come to rest, work, or escape. Comfort is a given - great beds, hot showers, genuine service. But we aim to create moments that feel memorable and a little unexpected, bringing back the sense of mood hospitality often lost.

This is our backdrop. We’re on an exciting journey, step on stage and play your part.
