Description
Private Household Chef (Asian Cuisine Specialist)
Location: Barnet (EN5) – 1 min from High Street
Salary: £50,000–£55,000 (depending on experience)
Sponsorship & Accommodation Assistance Available
We are recruiting a dedicated, reliable chef to join a private household in Barnet, cooking exclusively for one individual. This is a unique role suited to a chef who loves preparing healthy, balanced, flavour‑driven food without the pressure of a commercial kitchen.
About the Role
You would be working in a private household, cooking exclusively for one Asian client.
The requirement is relatively straightforward — preparing two meals per day:
• Lunch: around 1:30pm
• Dinner: around 6:30pm
The Focus is on:
• Hygienic, healthy cooking
• Non‑greasy, non‑fried dishes
• Balanced, clean flavours
• Avoiding heavy, overly raw, or cold dishes
Cuisine Requirements
We are ideally looking for a chef with strong experience in Asian cuisine, especially:
• Chinese
• Japanese
Modern, refined, or fusion interpretations are welcome.
The client also enjoys authentic Italian dishes on occasion — simple, elegant plates like fresh pastas, risottos and simple Mediterranean classics.
What You WON’T Need to Do
• No washing up
• No general kitchen cleaning
A live‑in housekeeper handles all cleaning responsibilities.
What We Offer
• Competitive salary: £50,000–£55,000 depending on experience
• Work permit sponsorship available
• Assistance with local accommodation in Barnet if relocating
• Supportive, stable working environment
• Long‑term opportunity with consistent hours
Who We’re Looking For
• A grounded, reliable chef with genuine passion for healthy cooking.
• Strong background in Asian cuisine (Chinese/Japanese preferred)
• Someone open to private household work (previous private chef experience not required)
• Professional and organised
• Able to work independently and maintain high standards
Fluent in at least one East Asian language (e.g., Mandarin, Cantonese, Japanese,) plus English.”
How to Apply
Please send:
• Your CV
• A short summary of your experience
• Your availability
• Whether you require sponsorship or accommodation
We welcome applicants who already have the right to work in the UK, and we can also provide sponsorship for the right candidate.
We look forward to hearing from chefs who take pride in cooking clean, high‑quality food and want a stable, respectful working environment.
