When we founded Benugo we had a vision of not just creating superb, natural food but of giving London something that was a real experience. This vision is still true today. The Benugo brand stretches from our own award-winning high street stores to cafes and restaurants within some of the world’s best loved public spaces and visitor attraction.

We are incredibly proud to be growing our partnership with John Lewis to deliver a new brand for their in-store restaurants in 32 of the retailer's stores. This is an incredibly exciting time to reimagine the offering with fresh, quality ingredients which are thoughtfully sourced and rooted in local suppliers.

We are seeking an exceptional Kitchen Leader to support the culinary team in excellence. This is a rare opportunity representing two respected brands, delivering an outstanding food experience that reflects innovation, quality, and attention to detail at every level.
