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 You’ll Be Doing:
Greeting and seating guests with confidence and care
Managing bookings, walk-ins, and waitlists
Supporting the front-of-house team during busy services
Coordinating with the floor and kitchen to maintain flow
Creating a calm, welcoming front-of-house environment
What We’re Looking For:
Experience in a guest-facing role
Comfortable in a fast-paced, late-night setting
Strong communication and organisation skills
Friendly, reliable, and professional
Keen to grow within a hospitality-focused team
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:
Food & Social Perks: Enjoy 50% off across our venues (25% at The Parakeet), our annual celebrations and free access to our events and festivals.
