Company Description

We are looking for a Head Bartender to be part of our team for the Hoxton, Shoreditch in our Llama Inn restaurant.

• Treat yourself once in a while with lots of retail & hospitality perks through our partners
• Enjoy a free night at The Hoxton and a meal for two when you first start with us
• Goes without saying, but we’ll feed you during your shift
