ABOUT US Since we opened our doors in London in 2011, Granger & Co. has brought the relaxed, sunny Australian way of dining to the city. Our restaurants reflect the spirit that Bill Granger made known around the world: easy-going, generous excellence. Our food makes people feel good. It is full of flavour, goodness and vitality. We thoughtfully source the best possible ingredients and the emotional comfort of food is as important to us as how it looks and tastes. We celebrate seasonality, champion local growers and suppliers and prioritise ingredients grown with care. As a family-owned restaurant group that is constantly evolving, we value all employees as respected individuals and foster diversity and inclusion, with everyone given a chance to share their voice and ideas.

You are a warm and approachable leader who inspires through example and enjoys helping the team grow. You care about seasonality, sustainable sourcing and cooking with whole ingredients. A knowledge of Australian food is welcome. Our restaurants are busy environments, and an ability to thrive in that environment is essential. Above all though, you care about flavour, learning and generosity. Formal training is not essential experience, curiosity and attitude matter just as much. We particularly welcome applications from women, who are under-represented in senior kitchen roles across our industry, and we are committed to changing that. WHAT WE OFFER A real work-life balance in a people-first business: a firm cap on hours, with overtime counting towards time in lieu and scheduled admin shifts every week for you and your senior chefs.
