Head Chef

Led by Chef José Pizarro, widely known as the Godfather of Spanish food in the UK, this is your opportunity to join the Pizarro family. In Chef James Martin's own words, he is the 'best Spanish chef, bar none!'

Many employers will brand themselves as "a family". However, with the José Pizarro Group this is truly a reality. As part of this family you will often have José recording television or media segments within the restaurant, or plating food at the pass intended for your guests.

The role is very hands-on and requires someone passionate and proactive. Along with an excellent rate of pay, there are also many other benefits, an extensive training program, and excellent career opportunities. This is a wonderful opportunity to join an exciting, expanding, and progressive Company.

Now in its 13th year of operation, our dynamic company is always developing whilst still keeping each site unique. 

Jose Pizarro is the Third restaurant in José Pizarro’s repertoire. If you have the personality, the drive, the commitment, and knowledge to be part of a successful team and drive the business forward we would love to hear from you.

Please note that we have a Monday to Saturday operation.
