into a destination people deliberately visit for exceptional pastries.
We want guests talking about our croissants.
Coming back for a particular signature pastry.
Ordering our cakes for celebrations.
Meeting friends over coffee and pâtisserie.
Sharing our creations because they look and taste extraordinary.

As Executive Pastry Chef, you will:
• Lead and oversee the entire pastry and bakery operation, setting high standards for quality, taste, texture, presentation and consistency.
• Develop a distinctive
French inspired pâtisserie offering
for The Social House and The Living Room.

• Work closely with Procurement on ingredient quality, supplier performance and product specifications.

• Work closely with the Executive Chef and wider culinary team on menus, promotions, special events and seasonal offerings.
• Partner with the commercial and marketing teams to create pastry products and experiences that generate excitement, guest traffic and revenue.
• Ensure all pastry production complies with food safety, hygiene and health and safety standards.
