Oak View Group

 

Part of Oak View Group (OVG), Rhubarb Hospitality Collection aspires to establish itself as the unequivocal leader in the hospitality industry, elevating the benchmark for premium experiences at iconic venues across the globe.

 

About the Venue

 

Poised on level 37 of the iconic Sky Garden, Fenchurch Restaurant showcases RHC’s commitment to delivering culinary excellence and impeccable service.

 

In acknowledgement of our ambition, Fenchurch has been awarded two AA rosettes as well as the Best of Award of Excellence 2019 from the Wine Spectator Awards.

 

Role Purpose

A flagship opportunity at one of London’s most iconic dining destinations.

 

Situated on Level 37 of the renowned Sky Garden, Fenchurch Restaurant by Kerth Gumbs offers an unforgettable dining experience above the London skyline. This is elevated dining in every sense — bold menus, striking views, and an atmosphere that blends energy with refined hospitality. Chef Kerth Gumbs is our Chef de Cuisine, whose signature style fuses exceptional British produce with the vibrant, expressive flavours of his Anguillan heritage.

 

Following an exciting recent relaunch, Fenchurch now features a dynamic mix of experiences: from relaxed bar seating to a refined tasting menu and à la carte offering.

 

What you’ll be doing

  • We are seeking a Head Chef who is ready to step into a high-profile leadership role and make a mark.
  • Working closely with Kerth, you will lead the kitchen in delivering bold, contemporary cuisine with creativity, precision, and flair.
  • You’ll inherit a solid brigade of 15–20 chefs and will be responsible for developing, mentoring, and inspiring them to perform at their best. Strong leadership, emotional intelligence, and a genuine passion for nurturing talent are essential.
  • This role demands someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment and has a proven track record in delivering modern cuisine.

What We’re Looking For

  • A Head Chef or Senior Sous Chef ready to step up in a premium, high-volume environment
  • Proven experience with contemporary British cuisine
  • A natural leader who builds strong, motivated teams
  • Creativity, ambition, and the confidence to push culinary boundaries
  • A calm, composed presence under pressure

Good to know

  • Up to £70,000 per annum, depending on experience, inclusive of service charge.
  • Company bonus structure as part of package

 

Benefits

  • The opportunity to build your reputation alongside a high-profile chef
  • Structured training and leadership development, with future career pathways
  • Meal allowance per shift
  • Corporate gym discount
  • 40% discount across all RHC venues
  • Enhanced parental leave
  • The chance to lead in one of London’s most iconic and talked about venues
