Bring the Heat to the Home of the Blues!
At Levy, we’re not just about food — we’re about passion, pace and unforgettable matchday moments. As the culinary force behind Chelsea FC, we deliver bold flavours, fast service, and epic energy across our retail kitchens every single game.
Now, we’re on the hunt for a Retail Head Chef who’s ready to lead from the front, fire up the grills, and bring next-level food to thousands of hungry fans.
Levy UK is the official catering partner to Chelsea Football Club responsible for the catering across the Chelsea Football Club estate, including Stamford Bridge stadium, Chelsea FC’s training facility in Cobham and Kingsmeadow Women’s stadium in Kingston.
This is no ordinary kitchen. This is Stamford Bridge.
Your Matchday Mission:
- Lead a high-performing brigade of 4 across multiple retail kitchens on matchdays and event days
- Drive food quality, speed, and consistency under pressure — no two events are the same
- Develop exciting, crowd-pleasing menus with a street food edge and stadium vibe
- Train, mentor and energise kitchen teams to deliver Levy magic with every dish
- Work closely with operations and culinary teams to hit targets without compromising flavour
- Champion health, safety and food hygiene standards — always
What We’re Looking For:
- A passionate, people-focused Head Chef (or ambitious Sous Chef ready for the step up)
- Proven experience running high-volume, fast-paced kitchens — ideally in events, stadiums, or large-scale hospitality
- Creative flair and commercial savvy — you know what sells, and how to deliver it fast
- Strong leadership and team-building skills — cool under pressure, calm in the chaos
- A hands-on approach — this is a role where you lead from the line, not the office
