.

This November, Corinthia London will open 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 authentic southern Italian cooking in one of London’s iconic five‑star hotels. Set within the grand, light‑filled former Northall restaurant, the new space brings the warmth and generosity of southern Italy to the heart of Westminster. Inspired by Baroque palazzos, with soaring ceilings, elegant design, and a menu rooted in Francesco’s Calabrian heritage, Mezzogiorno will celebrate bold flavours, seasonal produce and a passion for bringing people together around the table.

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 will be part of a dynamic environment where tradition meets innovation, and every detail matters, from the warmest welcome to the final touch on the plate. This is more than just a job – it’s an opportunity to learn, grow and make your mark alongside Francesco Mazzei and Corinthia London’s world‑class team of chefs, bartenders and hospitality leaders.

The Commis Chef is responsible for preparing food and ensuring that the kitchen runs to the required standards. You will prepare ingredients, handle kitchen deliveries, discard expired food, clean workstations and complete additional duties assigned by senior chefs.
