Job description

About us:

Impala is an open fire grill restaurant led by chef Meedu Saad, co-owner and executive chef of Kiln, with influences from North Africa to North London. This project is a culmination of recipes and techniques collected from the unruly metropolises that have shaped Meedu’s cooking.

Our restaurant's larder is built across the seasons, and an absolute focus on quality of ingredients founded upon long term farming projects. The room, led by Fanny Derozier, who has spent the last six years at Kiln, will have an atmosphere which recalls the energy of the Friday markets of Cairo, colliding with a Soho bar. The wine list, led by Penny Vine and Martina Larnach, will focus on offering multiple cuvées and vintages from producers whom they are inspired by.

What you’ll be doing:

• Developing creative cocktails and seasonal drinks that reflect our produce-led approach.
• Working with the kitchen and sourcing teams to align drinks with seasonal menus.
• Delivering high-quality bar and floor service, supporting the wider front-of-house team.
• Supporting the Bar Manager with team training, sharing drinks knowledge and developing junior team members.
• Assisting with stock management, ordering and supplier relationships.
• Maintaining clean, organised and well-stocked bar areas.
• Contributing to a positive team culture and consistently high service standards.

What you'll bring:

• 2 years bar experience in a high-quality, fast-paced environment.
• Strong foundation in traditional cocktails and a love for experimenting with fresh, seasonal ingredients.
• Comfortable delivering floor service and working across the full front-of-house team.
• A team player with a collaborative mindset and positive energy.
• Highly organised, with a keen eye for detail and quality.
• Passionate about produce, hospitality, and learning new skills.
• Full UK right to work documents.
• Ability to work flexibly, full time.

What’s in it for you:

• 28 days of annual leave, including bank holidays.
• Access to courses, resources, and training to enhance your career.
• 50% discount at all our restaurants, along with complimentary staff meals during your shifts.
• Discounted dining at various local establishments near Super 8 Restaurants.
• Enhanced maternity leave, pension scheme, subsidised mental health support, and a cycle-to-work scheme.
• Refer a Friend scheme—recommend someone to join Super 8 and receive a bonus!
• Opportunities for both international and national travel to visit our suppliers and learn about sourcing ingredients and beverages.
