Lantana are a collection of Australian-founded restaurants in the heart of London. We are famous for our brunches but are incredibly proud of our entire Australian-inspired menu, not to mention our speciality coffee! We care deeply about our customers and our teams, and this has created a very special culture within the business; we would love to tell you more about it!

Why you'll love working with us :

• Team Spirit: Join a supportive, enthusiastic team
• Growth Opportunities: Develop your skills and advance your career in a nurturing environment.
• Cultural Vibes: Immerse yourself in a workplace that values creativity, diversity, and exceptional service.
• Innovative Menu: Contribute to a menu that blends the best of Australian flavours with London’s diverse culinary scene.

You must have proof of right to work in the UK to join us.

Lantana is proud to be a London business and wishes to support the communities that it operates in. It will do this by giving priority to those that live within London or Greater London, which will also have additional environmental benefits.

Lantana values a diverse workforce and believes that people from different backgrounds can bring fresh ideas, thinking and approaches to the way we work. We welcome everyone from everywhere to come and join our team. Please let us know if we can support you in any specific ways to apply to join us.

WHO ARE WE?

Established 15 years ago by London-loving, Australian expats, Lantana was conceived to bring the taste and feel of Australia’s café culture to London, the city we now call home. The first to serve Aussie Brunch in the capital, we have been privileged to pick up some awards along way. Our approach hasn’t changed. We remain independent and use fresh, natural and quality ingredients best savoured slowly, in comfort and with friends. Like stumbling into a little piece of Australia in the heart of London.
