Commis Chef
Corinthia London
Date: 4 hours ago
City: London
Contract type: Full time
Be Part of Something Extraordinary
This November, Corinthia London will open the doors to a brand-new chapter in its culinary story: Mezzogiorno by Francesco Mazzei. Led by one of Italy’s most celebrated chefs, the restaurant will showcase soulful, authentic southern Italian cooking in one of London’s most iconic five-star hotels.
Set within the grand, light-filled former Northall restaurant, this spectacular new space will bring the warmth and generosity of southern Italy to the heart of Westminster. Inspired by the Baroque palazzos of the South, with soaring ceilings, elegant design, and a menu inspired by Francesco’s Calabrian roots, Mezzogiorno will be a soulful space, celebrating the true spirit of Italian dining: bold flavours, seasonal produce, and a passion for bringing people together around the table. From rustic pasta dishes to refined classics reimagined with flair, every plate will embody Francesco’s philosophy of “Mamma’s cooking with chef’s hands.”
We are building a team that will bring this vision to life – passionate, curious, and energetic individuals who thrive in the excitement of hospitality at its very best.
At Mezzogiorno, you’ll be part of a dynamic environment where tradition meets innovation, and where every detail matters, from the warmest welcome to the final touch on the plate. This is more than just a job: it’s the chance to learn, grow, and make your mark alongside Francesco Mazzei and Corinthia London’s world-class team of chefs, bartenders, and hospitality leaders.
Whether your ambition is to master the art of Italian hospitality, refine your craft in the kitchen, or grow into leadership, this is an opportunity to join a restaurant that will set the standard for excellence in London’s dining scene, welcoming guests with genuine warmth, creating dishes full of soul, and ensuring every detail is flawless.
At Mezzogiorno, you’ll discover mentorship, growth, and the chance to work at the heart of a five-star hotel that sets the standard for excellence. If you’re ready to be part of a story that celebrates passion, creativity, and the joy of true Italian food and service, we’d love to hear from you.
