We are 1 The Island Quarter.

1 The Island Quarter is an ambitious and exciting real estate development of a 36 acre freehold site in the heart of Nottingham, a development that has been ongoing since 2016 when the land was acquired.

We are a new & dynamic hospitality team charged with creating 1 The Island Quarter to be a sustainable business, transforming it into a cultural hub, a new and exciting destination for experiencing food, arts, music, sporting events and other community interests.  The first phase consists of 2 restaurants - Binks Yard and Cleaver & Wake, an outside live events space with a bandstand and an internal venue for private functions.

What we do at 1 The Island Quarter is much more than be just a venue.  Our guest-centric team love what they do, taking pride in always delivering value and consistency, they are actively generous in going the extra mile to create great memories for our guests, aiming to deliver genuine, exceptional service that is inclusive, authentic and fun.

Cleaver & Wake

Cleaver & Wake is more than a restaurant, it is an experience.  The menu allows you to be taken on a food journey, cooked in our open kitchen by our very skilled and passionate chefs.  Our knowledgeable bar team will pair drinks that heighten your experience and our front of house team know no bounds on ensuring that you are taken care of.  Cleaver & Wake is a place where memories are made.

Our floor team deliver the best in customer service, enhancing the customers’ experience whilst identifying all opportunities to upsell and drive our sales at Cleaver & Wake.  Using your genuine interest for all things hospitality, you will use your bubbly personality and emotional intelligence to adapt yourself to each guest, in an often fast-paced environment.

You will need to look after a minimum of 6 tables per section, but having been in hospitality previously, you will find this second nature.  Training will be provided alongside the knowledge needed of our menus, drinks offerings and food safety standards.  A keen eye for detail you will ensure that the restaurant and your team reflect our brands in a positive way, guest and audit ready at all times.  Career development is something we encourage so if you want to keep progressing, our team is here to help you.
