We’re searching for a host to join our team at The Blues Kitchen.

We’re looking for a Host with a warm presence and a genuine approach to hospitality. You’ll be the first face our guests see—managing the door, coordinating bookings, and setting the tone for a great night. This is a high-volume, late-night venue, so we’re after someone who stays calm under pressure, communicates clearly, and keeps things running smoothly. In return, we offer the chance to grow and develop within a team that values people and progression.

What To Expect

• Competitive Pay: £12.50 per hour plus tronc (total package usually in the range of £15-17 per hour). Hourly wages paid every two weeks on a Friday and tronc is paid on the last Friday of the month.
• The Blues Kitchen is a lively bar, restaurant and music venue meaning our teams work a variety of daytime and evening shifts over the course of the week.
• No uniforms here - bring your best self.
  
  

Why You’ll Love Working With Us
