Executive Pastry Chef - The Hoxton Bengaluru City

Company Description

The Hoxton, Bangalore

We are looking for an Executive Pastry Chef to join our dynamic team for The Hoxton Bengaluru City.

The Hoxton is opening its very first neighbourhood hotel in Asia, coming to India’s Bengaluru city centre in 2026. This is a major milestone for the brand as it ventures into a new continent entirely and we are now looking for a brilliant leadership team to help bring this lifestyle brand to the market. 

Located in the heart of the city centre, The Hoxton, Bengaluru City will bring its undeniable brand DNA and guest experience to India’s “Silicon Valley”, a high-tech city filled with parks and gardens and known for its vibrant cafe and pub culture - very apt for a brand that was founded in London! 

The hotel will feature 149 bedrooms in a variety of The Hoxton’s well-loved room categories and the lobby will have a vibrant all-day dining restaurant & bar. Topping off the hotel we will have a rooftop pool and bar, large scale function rooms and The Apartment - The Hoxton’s unique meeting & events concept

More about us…

The Hoxton is a series of open-house hotels, each in a neighbourhood that we love. Ever since we opened our first hotel in Shoreditch, we’ve never just been about offering a bed for the night. We want to be more than that: proving style doesn’t need to be sacrificed for good value and providing a place where guests can hang out alongside the locals and submerse themselves in the neighbourhood with vibrant, welcoming public spaces.

What's in it for you...

• The opportunity to work with an exciting new hospitality concept in Bangalore and have a real impact on its success.
• Join an innovative, fast-growing, international group that’s committed to not just building new hotels but building a global brand.
• The chance to challenge the norm and work in an environment that is both creative and rewarding.
• Become part of a team that’s very passionate about creating great hospitality experiences.
• Great discounts across the entire Ennismore family (which you get to keep even if you decide to leave us!).
• A competitive package and plenty of opportunity for development.

Job Description

What you’ll do…

• Create and lead the pastry vision across the hotel, making sure it feels distinctive, delicious and unmistakably Hox.
• Develop seasonal desserts, bakery items and event menus that balance creativity, consistency, speed and commercial sense.
• Set clear recipes, presentation standards and production plans so every outlet gets the quality it needs, every day.
• Recruit, train, coach and inspire the pastry team, creating opportunities for people to learn and progress.
• Plan staffing, production and workflow around the business, keeping the kitchen calm and organised even at busy moments.
• Own pastry food cost, stock, ordering, supplier relationships, portion control and waste reduction.
• Maintain excellent food safety, hygiene, allergen and HACCP standards, with accurate records and no shortcuts.
• Work closely with the Executive Chef, outlet chefs, F&B and Events teams to bring menus and guest experiences together.
• Stay curious about local ingredients, global pastry trends and new techniques, translating them into ideas that work for our guests.
• Make sure equipment is used safely, maintained properly and able to support the operation.
• Be visible, hands-on and willing to jump on the bench when the team needs you.

Qualifications

What we’re looking for…

• Individuals. You’re looking for a place where you can be you; no clones in suits here.
• Passion for hospitality - whether that’s a drink, a meal, an event or a bed for the night.
• You’re all about having a positive impact on the people you interact with, leaving them with a memorable experience.
• You’re not precious. We leave our egos at the door and help get things done.
• You’re up for doing things differently and trying (almost) everything once.
• If we got stuck in a lift together, we’d have a good time and share a few laughs.
• You want to be part of a team that works hard, supports each other, and has fun along the way.
• You’ll bring extensive pastry experience, including time leading a team in a busy hotel, restaurant, bakery or premium hospitality environment.
• You have excellent technical pastry and bakery knowledge, with a strong eye for presentation and a confident creative point of view.
• You understand food cost, production planning, purchasing, stock and waste, and know that creativity works best when the operation is under control.
• You’re an inspiring, fair and practical leader who enjoys teaching and developing others.
• You have thorough knowledge of food safety, hygiene, allergens and HACCP requirements.
• You’re organised, resilient and comfortable managing multiple outlets, events and deadlines.
• A culinary or pastry qualification is preferred, alongside strong professional experience.
