What We're Looking For
This is not an entry-level role. You must be confident in a fine dining environment.
Ideally you will have:
* Previous fine dining or tasting menu experience
* Strong wine knowledge and confidence discussing pairings
* Cocktail-making skills
* Excellent service etiquette and attention to detail
* Calm, professional presence under pressure
* A genuine passion for hospitality
We are a small team. Attitude matters as much as skill. We're looking for someone who takes pride in what they do and enjoys being part of something special.
The Role Includes
* Full table service in a tasting menu format
* Wine and drinks service
* Cocktail preparation (where required)
* Assisting with service flow and guest experience
* Clearing tables, tidying, washing up, and fully resetting the restaurant at the end of service
* Maintaining high standards of presentation and ambience
This is a hands-on role within a small team — everyone mucks in.
If you're experienced, polished, and ready to deliver memorable evenings, we'd love to hear from you.
Apply with CV and a short note about your experience.
