    Join Our Team!

    Cantine is looking for a talented Sous Chef to join our dynamic team. If you’re passionate and knowledgeable about food, like to roll up your sleeves, enjoy working in a team, are interested to learn new skills and want to be part of a growing company, we’d love to hear from you.

    About Us:

    Cantine is an independent family run business that is passionate about creating beautiful food. We feel fortunate to love what we do and consider work to be more than simply a job. Passionate about promoting lifelong learning, we believe in sustainable growth for our business, staff and natural world of which we are part. Our business has grown from a kitchen cupboard to a 2000 square feet kitchen. The kitchen was designed to function as a creative workplace: plenty of daylight, large and airy working spaces, state of the art appliances using 100% renewable energy (no gas).

    Our menu features strong Middle Eastern, European and East Asian influences with an emphasis on simplicity, seasonality, vegetarian and vegan dishes. Meat and fish dishes are served sparingly.

    We have built up a fantastic roster of long standing and high profile clients and collaborators, predominantly in the art, fashion, design and film industries. Besides our seasonal menus, a lot of client commissions are bespoke projects. We believe creative flair must be underpinned by methodical rigour and are looking for someone passionate about food culture with good culinary knowledge and experience.
