Head Chef | Bramble

Bramble is a busy neighbourhood restaurant in Toronto’s west end (Royal York Subway), serving modern British inspired food in a warm, polished setting.

We are looking for a strong, hands on Head Chef who can run a kitchen properly and bring some creativity to the food.

This is not a corporate kitchen and it is not a role for someone who wants to spend most of their time in the office. We need a chef who enjoys cooking, understands service, has high standards, and can lead a team from the line.

The core of the menu is British inspired, but we are not interested in tired pub food. We want familiar dishes done well, strong technique, thoughtful specials, seasonal changes, and food that gives people a reason to come back.

What you’ll be doing
Leading daily service and setting the standard in the kitchen
Cooking on the line and staying closely involved in execution
Developing specials and contributing to seasonal menu changes
Improving dishes while keeping the identity of Bramble intact
Training and developing a reliable kitchen team
Managing ordering, inventory, food cost, prep levels, and waste
Maintaining a clean, organized kitchen with strong systems
Working closely with ownership and management on the direction of the food





What we’re looking for
Head Chef, Sous Chef, or senior kitchen leadership experience in a busy, quality driven restaurant
A genuinely strong cook with good instincts and solid technique
Someone creative, but practical enough to understand what works during a busy service
Robust organization and kitchen management skills
High standards for consistency, cleanliness, prep, and presentation
Someone dependable who takes ownership of their kitchen
A calm, clear leader who can build a good team without ego or drama
Comfortable with costing, ordering, scheduling, and the basic financial side of running a kitchen

We are looking for someone who wants to put their stamp on the food while also building a kitchen that runs properly every day. This is a positive opportunity for a chef who wants some creative freedom, real responsibility, and a restaurant where they can make a noticeable impact.
