OUR HOTEL
We’re not just
refurbishing The Met, we’re reimagining what a hotel can be. Bold, buzzing, and
full of flair, our reinvented Leeds landmark is becoming a destination where
creativity flows from the walls to the food on the plate. From dramatic
interiors to dishes that turn heads, we’re not afraid to be different and we’re
looking for a team that feels the same.
That’s where you come

learn. Someone who’s ready to roll up their sleeves, master the craft, and help
create plates that are anything but ordinary. If you’ve got a love for food and
an eye for detail, this is your chance to be part of something exciting from
the ground up.
