Lenny's is a new pizzeria on Henrietta Street in Covent Garden, from Max Lewis and MJMK Restaurants. The result of Max's extensive travels to New Haven, Connecticut, it is built around pizzas that are crispy, chewy and charred, a revival of his much-loved pop-up now finding a permanent home in the heart of Covent Garden.

We're looking for a Kitchen Porter to join the team at Lenny's, keeping the kitchen running cleanly and smoothly behind the scenes. You'll play a vital role in making sure the kitchen is set up to deliver at its best, every service.

This role suits someone hardworking, reliable and happy to be part of a busy kitchen team. You'll work closely with the chefs, and it's a great way into professional kitchens with real room to grow.

This is a hands-on, section-focused role, full of energy from the moment the doors open.

• Wash and maintain crockery, pots, pans and kitchen equipment throughout service.
• Keep the kitchen, storage areas and equipment clean and organised.
• Support chefs with basic prep tasks when needed.

• Support with deliveries, unpacking and storing stock correctly.
• Follow food safety and hygiene procedures on every shift.
• Support the wider kitchen team wherever needed during busy periods.

What We're Looking For

We're looking for someone hardworking and reliable who takes pride in a clean, well-run kitchen. You will bring:

• A strong work ethic and willingness to get stuck in.
• The ability to stay calm and organised during busy services.
• Good attention to detail when it comes to cleanliness and hygiene.
• A team-first attitude and willingness to help wherever needed.
• Flexibility to work evenings, weekends and festive periods.

• 50% team discount across all MJMK restaurants.
• Up to £500 team referral bonus.
• Opportunity to grow within one of London's most ambitious hospitality groups.
• Enhanced maternity and paternity pay after one year with us.

About MJMK Restaurants

MJMK Restaurants owns and operates a collection of award-winning restaurants. Founded in 2018 by lifelong friends Jake Kasumov and Marco Mendes, our journey began with Casa do Frango.

In 2020, we partnered with chef patron Santiago Lastra to open KOL, a restaurant in Marylebone celebrating Mexican cuisine with British ingredients. KOL has since earned a Michelin star and been named one of the World's 50 Best Restaurants.

2024 saw two new ventures: Fonda, a contemporary Mexican concept in Mayfair, our second collaboration with Santiago Lastra, and AngloThai in Marylebone, a debut restaurant from husband-and-wife John and Desiree Chantarasak, blending Thai flavours with British ingredients. Within three months of opening, AngloThai earned a Michelin star.

In the 2025 National Restaurant Awards, AngloThai was named The Square Opening of the Year and ranked 7th in the Top 100 list, followed by KOL at number 50. Luso, a contemporary Portuguese restaurant in Fitzrovia, opened in September 2025.

We're building ambitious restaurant brands with a focus on quality, creativity and guest experience, and we're just getting started.
