Pastry Commis Chef - SUMI Marylebone
SUMI opens its second restaurant on Devonshire Street, Marylebone, in November 2026.

We're looking for a Pastry Commis Chef to join our founding team from day one and grow with us.
The Role
As Pastry Commis Chef, you will support our pastry section in creating desserts that bring Japanese ingredients and technique to every guest's final course. You will work closely with the Pastry Chef, Head Chef and wider kitchen as one team, from daily preparation through to plating during service.
This is a brilliant opportunity for someone who wants to build their pastry skills, learn Japanese ingredients and technique, and build a lasting career in professional kitchens.

You will need:
A genuine love of pastry and an eye for detail
Accuracy and care when following recipes
A willingness to learn and take on feedback
The ability to stay calm and organised during busy services
A team first attitude and good communication
High standards of cleanliness and food safety
Flexibility to work evenings, weekends and bank holidays
Salary: Upto £14.01 p/h, plus benefits
Why Join Us?

Join an exciting new restaurant opening from the very beginning
Hands on training in pastry and Japanese ingredients
Clear opportunities for career progression
The chance to grow across Creative Restaurant Group
