Commis Chef

We need a Commis Chef!

So what exactly is a "commis chef"? It's someone who is an allrounder really. They can make sandwiches on the sandwich section at lunch, do the dessert section in the evening, get involved in prep, rustle up a tray of chocolate brownies at short notice while accurately following the recipe, and they work clean too. Gotta work clean.

This is probably a part time position, likely 25 hours a week and mostly daytimes. You'd need experience and a great work ethic, as well as a desire to learn stuff and be the kind of person that everyone likes to work with, no grumpy bums allowed. The Alex is a very busy pub but it's a great place to work too. Our head chef Chris is a lovely guy who believes in having a happy crew.

The Alexandra is an award winning, brilliant multi bar pub offering wonderful pub food and a delicious premium drinks range. With a Lounge bar, Sports Bar, the iconic Green bar and an indoor/outdoor cocktail led rooftop bar there is something for everyone. 'The Alex' is also very much at the heart of the Wimbledon community offering 'Meet Up Mondays' and free Christmas Dinners in an effort to help combat loneliness. Come and join us. Be part of something special!
