Sous Chef

Full-Time Sous Chef – Lone Star Spitfire, Christchurch

Looking for your next big move in the kitchen? Lone Star Spitfire is searching for a full-time Sous Chef to join our legendary crew.

We’re one of the most loved family restaurants in Christchurch, located right by Christchurch Airport — making us a go-to spot for locals and travellers alike. If you’ve been searching “food near me” or checking out the best restaurants Christchurch NZ, you’ll already know Lone Star is where great food and great people come together.

As our Sous Chef, you’ll bring proven experience in a busy kitchen. A Basic Food Hygiene Certificate is required, while a Certificate in Professional Cookery or City & Guilds qualification is a real advantage. You’ll step up when the Head Chef is away, confidently managing cleaning, prep, and service across colds, hots, grill, and pans.

You’re not just a cook — you’re a leader. You’ll support the Head Chef in guiding the team, mentoring up-and-coming talent, and keeping the kitchen humming. You’re organised, adaptable, and thrive in a team environment where everyone has each other’s backs.

At Lone Star, we’re famous for our Kitchen Bible and Operations Manual — proven systems that ensure every dish is consistently top quality. But more than anything, you’ll take pride in serving up our legendary Lone Star classics that keep our guests coming back.

We’ve spent more than 30 years building a reputation as one of the most trusted restaurants in CHCH NZ. Now we’re looking for the best to join our crew.

Think you’ve got what it takes? Apply today and become part of the Lone Star legend at Spitfire.
