Commis Chef | Tortilleria | Bermondsey, London

We are looking for a great Commis Chef to join Harts Group as part of our El Pastor Tortilleria kitchen team in Bermondsey, London

You’ll be part of a small team in the Tortilleria, working across both hot and cold sections and taking orders directly from guests. Alongside restaurant service, you’ll prepare takeaway and Deliveroo orders, helping us serve some of the best tacos in London, whether they’re enjoyed at the restaurant or delivered to our guests

El Pastor is a small group of Mexican taquerias in London, inspired by the decade the founders spent in Mexico City, running a cult nightclub and searching for the city’s best taco al pastor.
We pour our hearts into top quality authentic produce, making fresh tortillas daily using heritage corn and working directly with suppliers and cooperative farmers in Mexico. We are proud to have been awarded a Star by the Sustainable Restaurant Association.
This ethos is felt by our teams, they understand the journey of the ingredients and how important they are to the dishes they serve. El Pastor is deeply invested in sourcing the most wonderful mezcals and tequilas and making every day a fiesta.
