Sous Chef

• Worthing’s Most Exciting New Restaurant Opening

Sous Chef — £37,000 plus Tronc Must have high level dining experience.

This spring, Ebb will open inside Worthing’s iconic Art Deco Pavilion, positioned at the very end of the pier with stunning sea views, bird murmurations, and unforgettable sunsets.

With just 38 covers, the restaurant will feel intimate and personal but the ambition is big: exceptional food and drinks delivered with warmth, precision, and style.

Our open kitchen will champion seasonal produce, transformed into bold, modern small plates — creative, vibrant, and full of flavour. Expect a cocktail-led bar, carefully considered wines, great music, and low lighting — all wrapped in a hospitality style that’s refined, relaxed, and genuinely welcoming. Every detail will matter.

Preview Launch: April Before our full public opening, we’ll run a preview launch from April, giving the opening team the chance to shape Ebb from the very beginning — how it feels, how it flows, and what we become.

This is a rare opportunity to be part of something from day one, helping to build the menu, culture, and kitchen standards before we fully launch.

The Role

We’re looking for a talented and driven Sous Chef to work closely with our Head Chef in delivering and evolving our seasonal small-plates menu.

• You’ll:
• Support in developing and refining creative, seasonal dishes
• Lead the kitchen in the Head Chef’s absence
• Help train, mentor and motivate the opening team
• Ensure consistency, quality and pace of service
• Maintain high standards of organisation, hygiene and systems
• Champion quality produce and strong supplier relationships
• Contribute ideas and creativity to menu development About You

You’re a confident, hands-on chef with strong experience in a quality-driven kitchen. You thrive in a fast-paced service, care deeply about presentation and flavour, and take pride in running a smooth, organised section.

You’re ambitious, reliable, and excited by the opportunity to be part of an opening team — helping to shape not just the food, but the culture of the kitchen.

Most importantly, you want to build something special.

If that sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you.
