Tapas Head Chef jobs

We’re on the lookout for a Head Chef to become part of our TRIBE community as we continue to make waves in London. Our first TRIBE hotel launched in summer 2022, and we’re redefining what hospitality looks like for a new generation of travellers.

Conceived for a new type of traveller, it’s all about the mix. Unapologetic modern designed hotels that confidently mix n’ match mainstream style with bespoke eye catching and iconic pieces. The result is a bold and fun place for a high-end experience at a fair price. Finally, a place that gives you everything you need and nothing you don’t.

‘Feels Like June’ is a California-inspired restaurant with bright flavours, summer feels and a Europe-meets-West Coast flair where our hotel guests and local residents meet to enjoy from breakfast to dinner, cocktails or just take a seat with a laptop and work from our lounge area.

We are looking for someone who’s curious, caring and conscious attitude will play a crucial part in curating the TRIBE experience, which is defined through its authenticity and obsession in making sure everything is as seamless and functional as possible to make life that bit easier.
