Job Description
Job Title: Chef de Partie (CDP)
Location: William IV, London
About Us
William IV is a pub steeped in nearly 200 years of history, beautifully renovated and reopened just a year ago. Since its reopening, it has become a beloved local establishment and a sought-after destination for exceptional food and drink.
Our menu is inspired by ingredient-led, flavor-driven cooking, utilizing the finest suppliers in the industry. Highlights include:
- Fresh Fish: Sourced from day boats at Brixham and Billingsgate market, prepared on-site from gutting to filleting.
- Heritage Meats: Supplied by Swaledale Butchers in the Yorkshire Dales, renowned for their Michelin-star clientele.
- Seasonal Excellence: A focus on high-quality, seasonal ingredients at accessible prices has earned us a strong reputation.
In November, we launched The Dining Room, an independent restaurant experience on our first floor. The menu showcases fine dining techniques in an approachable setting, featuring seasonal, elevated dishes. It has garnered notable press and acclaim, including being named #4 in Time Out’s Best Sunday Roasts in London.
This is an exciting opportunity to join a growing team committed to culinary excellence and innovation.
