Job description

About Us

Impala, our newest restaurant will open its doors in Spring of 2026. Led by chef Meedu Saad, co-owner and executive chef of Kiln, Impala is an open fire grill restaurant, with influences from North Africa to North London. This project is a culmination of recipes and techniques collected fromuly metropolises that have shaped Meedu’s cooking.

Our restaurant's larder is built across the seasons, and an absolute focus on quality of ingredients founded upon long term farming projects. The room, led by Fanny Derozier, who has spent the last six years at Kiln, will have an atmosphere which recalls the energy of the Friday markets of Cairo, colliding with a Soho bar. The wine list, led by Penny Vine and Martina Lanarch, will focus on offering multiple cuvées and vintages from producers whom they are inspired by.

We’re looking for people who are passionate about what we do, excited by the Super 8 vision, and eager to be involved in shaping something new. This is your chance to grow with us and help create a restaurant that reflects the creativity and energy of our team.

What you’ll be doing

• Managing the main production kitchen to its highest possible standard and directing kitchen preparation in support of the demands of the bussiness.
• Support the Head Chef in creating a harmonious and efficient kitchen environment where the team feels confident and the culture is strong.
• Maintain the highest standards of food preparation and presentation to ensure guest satisfaction.
• Assist with regular tastings, training sessions, and briefings
