Breakfast Chef

Join White Rabbit Hospitality as Breakfast Chef – EVE Kensington

The most important meal of the day deserves the most dedicated chef on the pass.

EVE Kensington is one of London's most exciting hospitality destinations, a venue with genuine character, set in one of the capital's most coveted postcodes. As Breakfast Chef, you'll own the morning: running a slick, high-quality breakfast operation that sets the tone for every guest's day and reflects everything EVE stands for. This is a role where consistency, craft, and care are everything and where your work is felt from the very first service of the day.

White Rabbit Hospitality is a fast-growing, multi-brand hospitality group with a vision to be the world's leading hospitality incubator. EVE Kensington is one of our standout London properties and for a chef who takes breakfast seriously and wants to develop within a group that genuinely invests in its people, this is a brilliant opportunity.

This isn't a role for someone who sees breakfast as the quiet shift before the real cooking starts. This is a role for a chef who understands that a perfectly executed breakfast is every bit as demanding and rewarding as any other service and who brings the same precision, energy, and pride to every plate, every morning. If that's you, we'd love to meet you.

Everything we do at White Rabbit Hospitality is grounded in four values: Hospitality is at our core, We do the right thing, We pursue excellence, and We are all entrepreneurs. These aren't wall art, they're how we work every single day.

OUR VALUES — IN EVERY SERVICE

HOSPITALITY IS AT OUR CORE - You understand that breakfast is personal. It's the first thing a guest experiences, and the way it's cooked and presented shapes their entire day. You take that responsibility seriously.

WE DO THE RIGHT THING - You follow the right processes, respect your colleagues, and operate with integrity, whether that's in food hygiene, stock handling, or how you show up for the team every morning.

WE PURSUE EXCELLENCE - You don't cut corners because it's early. You hold your standards across every plate, every service, every morning, because excellence doesn't have a start time.

WE ARE ALL ENTREPRENEURS - You take full ownership of your kitchen in the morning hours. You're prepped, organised, proactive, and always thinking about how to make the operation run better.

WHAT WILL YOU BE DOING?

As Breakfast Chef at EVE Kensington, your role will include:

• Running the breakfast kitchen operation to a consistently high standard, from early morning prep through to service completion
• Preparing and cooking a full breakfast menu covering hot dishes, egg cookery, pastries, cold items, and any à la carte or cooked-to-order requirements
• Ensuring all mise en place is completed accurately and on time ahead of every service
• Maintaining impeccable standards of food presentation, portion control, and quality consistency across every plate
• Upholding strict food safety, hygiene, and allergen compliance in line with HACCP standards at all times
• Managing stock levels during service, flagging replenishment needs, and minimising waste through accurate prep
• Keeping the kitchen clean, organised, and guest-ready throughout the morning operation
• Supporting the wider kitchen brigade where required and communicating clearly with front-of-house during service
• Contributing to a positive, professional kitchen culture where reliability and high standards are the norm

WHAT DO YOU NEED?

• Proven kitchen experience, ideally with exposure to breakfast or all-day dining operations
• Strong egg cookery and breakfast technique, from classical cooked breakfasts to more contemporary à la carte dishes
• The ability to work independently and manage a section with confidence during morning services
• A thorough understanding of food hygiene, allergen management, and HACCP compliance
• Reliable, punctual, and disciplined, breakfast demands a chef who is ready to go from the moment the shift starts
• A calm, focused approach under pressure with the ability to maintain quality at pace
• A team-first attitude and the ability to communicate clearly with kitchen and front-of-house colleagues
• Right to Work in the United Kingdom

• A breakfast chef role at one of London's most exciting and distinctive hospitality venues
