Cubitt House is a collection of eight distinctive London pubs celebrated for their seasonal British menus, impeccable hospitality, and timeless interiors. Inspired by master architect Thomas Cubitt, we honour London’s heritage by creating vibrant spaces that feel both elegant and welcoming. Our pubs—including The Thomas Cubitt, The Alfred Tennyson, The Orange, The Princess Royal, and The Grazing Goat—blend British craftsmanship with a sense of community, partnering with the finest artisans and producers to deliver exceptional experiences.
We are more than a pub group—we are a family of passionate individuals dedicated to craft, creativity, and genuine service. At Cubitt House, we believe in celebrating people and places through thoughtful design, locally sourced food, and warm, memorable moments.
The Role
We’re looking for a Bars Manager to lead the bar operation at The Orange, an iconic Chelsea landmark and part of the Cubitt House collection. This stunning neighbourhood favourite is home to a boutique hotel, seasonal dining rooms, and three distinctive bars under one roof:
