Si King’s pie restaurant Propa hiring – here’s how to apply

The restaurant, Propa, based at Sheepfolds in Sunderland, is looking for someone to work on the pies and comfort food “we’re known and loved for”.

Posting the advert to Facebook, Propa said: “This is a 36–45 hours per week role with hourly pay, working on the pies and comfort food classics we’re known and loved for.

“You’ll be cooking as part of a close, collaborative team where ideas are welcomed and creativity is encouraged alongside our current chefs.

“At Propa, the kitchen is a big part of our personality and so is our social media. This role includes being comfortable getting involved in content, behind the scenes clips and sharing what we do with our customers online.

“If you love great food, teamwork, creativity and aren’t camera shy, we’d love to hear from you.”

To apply for the role, you can email info@teampropa.com.

The restaurant has gone from strength to strength since opening in December 2024.

In a review of Propa in February 2025, The Northern Echo described the pie and mash as a “warm hug”.

Potential expansion plans for the restaurant were also announced last December.

The celebrity chef spoke about the future of his restaurant brand during an appearance on the ‘Full Chat podcast’, with presenters Iwan Thomas and David Prutton.

He said: “We will open one in Newcastle, it’s inevitable, because we want to. It’s about bringing that thing to the North East.”
