Description
Assistant Reservations Manager
Since 2006, Hawksmoor has been the UK’s home of ethically sourced, grass-fed beef, cooked over charcoal and paired with award-winning wines and cocktails. We’re proud to be a certified B Corp, one of the most sustainable restaurant groups in the industry, and to have been recognised as one of the Best Companies to work for year after year.
As Assistant Reservations Manager at Hawksmoor, you’ll support the Reservations Manager in leading the reservations and host team, ensuring every guest experience is warm, seamless and well organised. This is a hands-on role at the heart of the restaurant. You’ll be welcoming guests, managing reservations and flow during service, and supporting the team on the floor rather than sitting behind a desk.

Work Hard and Be Nice to People - We set high standards and treat each other with kindness and respect.
Hit Hawksmoor Standards - We care deeply about quality and consistency every day.
Keep Evolving - We stay curious, open to feedback and always looking to improve.
