Job description

The Peninsula London is pleased to announce we are seeking a Chef de Rang to join the team within our Cigar Tasting Room on the 8th Floor. This position will report to the Tasting Room Manager and will support the day to day service, creating a memorable experience for our guests.

Occupying an exclusive area of the rooftop, The Tasting Room cigar lounge offers an elegant and relaxed space for the enjoyment of finely curated cigars. The walk-in humidor, along with a collection of rare top-shelf whiskies, is overseen by Master of Havana Cigars Manu Harit. Patrons can also rent private climate-controlled lockers for storing their cigar purchases.

Like the adjacent Brooklands restaurant and bar – with which it shares a dedicated elevator – The Tasting Room takes design inspiration from the world of fine motorcars. Its mahogany-panelled sitting room incorporates design elements of The Delage 155B, a luxury French race car that won the first Grand Prix at Brooklands in 1926. The lounge and attached terrace also afford truly breath-taking panoramic views over Hyde Park and the surrounding cityscape.
