Schedule - Full Time

Experience - Previous experience as a Head Kitchen Porter within a quality restaurant or hotel

From the founders of the Michelin-starred Sabor, Chef Nieves Barragán Mohacho, in partnership with JKS Restaurants, is seeking a Head Kitchen Porter to be part of Legado.

We’re looking for an experienced Head Kitchen Porter who shares our enthusiasm, dedication, and passion for great food, vibrant hospitality, and delivering a unique culinary experience.

The Location

Legado opened its doors in August 2025 in the heart of Shoreditch, with a clear purpose: to celebrate the breadth and depth of Spain’s regional cooking. A sister restaurant to Sabor, Legado builds on that foundation while carving out its own identity - exploring lesser-known dishes and traditions from across Spain, guided by seasonality, whole-animal butchery and a deep respect for craft and provenance. From the Taberna - Legado’s tapas and pintxos bar - to the main dining room, the restaurant is defined by thoughtful cooking, precise technique and warm, considered hospitality.

Founded by Chef Nieves Barragán Mohacho, Legado reflects a lifetime of experience rooted in Spanish culinary heritage. Nieves’ cooking is shaped by memory, travel and a commitment to honouring the stories of each region.

Just seven months after opening, Legado was awarded a Michelin Star - a testament to the dedication, talent and collective ambition of the team.
