Looking for a passionate and reliable Supervisor, or Duty Manager, able to lead the restaurant and bar through day-evening service with support from Duty Management.

We value passion, and encourage specialisation and niches. If there's anything you have wanted to learn for your career in hospitality, we offer training.

Our Culture

We value professionalism, clarity, and shared responsibility.

We're building a team who gain satisfaction from contributing to the building blocks of a business; who enjoy improving cocktail recipes and enjoy creating social media content and who when they see a better way to do something they feel confident discussing it with the team.

We believe that small improvements every day, guided by the people who do the job, is how we all win.

What We’re Looking For

• Strong bar and restaurant experience (essential)
• Reception or check-in experience beneficial but not required
• A good instinct for service pace and flow
• Attentive to side work and presentation standards
• Reliable, punctual, and organised
• Comfortable working independently when required
• Able to make sensible decisions without unnecessary escalation

Experience as a key holder is beneficial but not essential — full training will be provided.

• 20% off food & drink (50% on shift)
