Oak View Group is reinventing the way the world comes together.

Driven by a passion to revolutionise the live events industry with dynamic thinking and an unshakeable dedication to those we serve, OVG turns up the volume on what makes life extraordinary.

About The Venue

Welcome to Town Hall

Housed within the magnificent Grade II-listed former Camden Town Hall, in the heart of King's Cross, Town Hall by Bottaccio is a new kind of cultural destination.

Spanning 6,000 sqm, this extraordinary London landmark is being reimagined as a place where the best of Britain and the wider world come together — from visionary entrepreneurs and global brands to pioneering artists, musicians, thinkers and creative talent.

Our ambition is to create a platform that celebrates extraordinary people, ideas and experiences, bringing together worlds that don't traditionally meet.

Our spaces are the home for global brands and creative communities such as Nvidia, Prada, Rolex, Nike, Lululemon, Future Forum, Hermes, OpenAI, F1, Wella and hundreds more each year, alongside an evolving programme of contemporary art, thought-provoking conversations and cultural encounters.

At Town Hall, a global business summit shares the stage with an immersive art installation. A private dinner brings together an artist, a founder, a musician and a leading thinker. A culinary collaboration becomes as much a cultural event as a dining experience. This is what makes Town Hall different.

Our world is built around three interconnected pillars

• Town Hall Spaces: Extraordinary environments for world-class events, brand experiences, celebrations and moments that bring people together.
• Town Hall Presents: A cultural programme celebrating creativity, discovery and ideas through art, music, conversations, performances and unexpected collaborations.
• Town Hall Society: A private members' community bringing together curious, ambitious and inspiring individuals from different worlds, united by a desire to connect, discover and create.

Together, they form an ecosystem where culture, community and enterprise meet. And gastronomy is an essential part of bringing this vision to life.

Role Purpose

The Food & Beverage Director will be accountable for every part of the food and beverage offer, from everyday members’ dining and workspace catering to private dinners and large-scale brand events.
