About the Job
This isn't your average bar job – it's Christmas made magical
Backyard Cinema is transforming London Bridge into the Home of Christmas Movies, complete with enchanted forests, cabaret shows, festive bars, and all our favourite holiday films. And we need brilliant Bar Supervisors to lead our team of superstar bar staff and help make the magic happen between 26th November 2025 – 31st December 2025.
What You'll Be Doing
* Leading a team of bar staff to deliver smooth, efficient service across our bars.
* Jumping in to serve mulled wine, festive cocktails, and bundles when things get busy.
* Inspiring your team to bring the sparkle with top-notch service – from speedy sales at the Forest Bar to table service in the Cabaret Room (where actors perform right in front of you).
* Taking responsibility for stock checks, bar set-up, and cash handling.
* Making sure your team keeps the bars tidy, stocked, and running like clockwork all night long.
* Supporting and coaching staff to spread Christmas cheer with every order.
* Helping guests feel welcome from the moment they walk in – you're part of the first impression magic.
* Driving sales and upselling festive bundles with confidence (because who doesn't want popcorn with their Christmas movie?).
What We're Looking For
* 18+ (sorry, Santa's rules – you'll be serving alcohol).
* Previous supervisory or team leader experience in hospitality, events, or bars.
* Confident in managing both people and processes, with strong organisational skills.
* A big smile and a warm, approachable attitude – you know how to lead by example.
* Someone who thrives in a busy, buzzing, festive environment.
* Availability to work across the season (and not afraid of a few Christmas jingles stuck in your head).
The Details
* Training: One full day's training before opening.
* Uniform: White shirt, black waistcoat, black trousers, black shoes (classic cinema "usher" style).
* Team setup: Each shift will have 5 bar staff + 1 supervisor (that's you).
* Contract: Casual, full event run.
Why You'll Love It
* Work at London's most magical Christmas cinema.
* Be part of an immersive show – where every shift feels like stepping into a Christmas movie.
* Fun, supportive team atmosphere (with plenty of festive vibes).
* A chance to build premium hospitality leadership experience with Freemans Event Partners.
Bring your leadership sparkle, keep the drinks flowing, and help us deliver a Christmas experience to remember
