About the role

This is a hands-on role combining the coordination of functions and events with being an active member of the Front of House team. It would suit someone who loves the organisation and detail involved in bringing an event together but equally enjoys being on the floor, looking after guests and being part of a professional hospitality team. The successful candidate will take ownership of function and event enquiries from the initial conversation through to planning, communication and delivery, ensuring every event feels considered, organised and seamless. Working closely with management, kitchen and Front of House teams, you will be responsible for coordinating functions and events while contributing to the day-to-day operation of the restaurant. This is not a purely administrative events role. You will be an active member of the FOH team and, where appropriate, be involved in the delivery and management of the events you have helped coordinate.
