Head Chef, Lupins

Chefs Lucy Pedder and Natasha Cooke opened Lupins in 2016 and since then, it has become a well-established, highly successful 40-cover restaurant situated in vibrant London Bridge, close to Borough market.

Lupins take pride in using the best of British ingredients, through supporting smaller suppliers, to produce exciting original food.

With the first phase of the restaurant now completed, we are now looking to expand the company with the introduction of an innovative and organised Head Chef, ready to help achieve this exciting step.

You will be responsible for the continued growth and development with a fantastic opportunity to run our small, but brilliant team and develop all aspects of the business.

Our aim is to keep Lupins at the forefront of the London dining scene and the successful applicant will be fully focussed on achieving that.

We are looking for someone with similar experience, skills and passion as a head chef or a sous chef who are looking to step up and take command, make a mark on their own menu and help drive Lupins to the next phase of our journey and growth.
