Job description

Join to apply for the Chef de Partie role at Acme Fire Cult

Acme Fire Cult
Acme Fire Cult (AFC) is a live-fire restaurant from chef Andrew Clarke. Located in the bustling heart of Dalston, AFC takes inspiration from a multitude of avenues; from Turkish Ocakbasi, the fermenting traditions of south‑east Asia and Andrew’s many gastronomic journeys through India. The flavours are complex, rich and a more refined take on traditional fire cooking. We are dedicated to having a large portion of the menu made up of plant‑based dishes which have equal importance to their meaty counterparts. AFC has a burning passion for quality produce and sustainability. We source rare and native‑breed meats from around the UK, day‑caught fish from Scotland and Cornwall and the best quality fruits and vegetables from south‑east farms. The restaurant is a sister venture to 40FT Brewery, a micro‑brewery, based onsite producing a rotating range of high‑quality craft brews. We work closely with the brew team, utilising their spent products in our menus, repurposing traditional waste products into integral ingredients and in doing so, providing closed‑loop sustainable practices.

About The Role

We are looking for an experienced chef de partie. Knowledge of grill cooking is required. The ideal candidate will have experience in a fast‑paced busy kitchen environment, have a genuine passion for food and will take pride in the food they create. You will be cooking in a team that cares about quality and will be working with exceptional produce from some of the UK’s best suppliers, alongside a well‑established and tight‑knit team.
