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. 

• Career Growth: At The Columbo Academy, your ambition is our inspiration. We’re here to guide you on a clear path to personal and professional greatness.

• Hero of the Month: Get recognized for your standout work and enjoy a paid weekend off.

• Bar & Restaurant Incentives: Top seller in drinks revenue pockets a £50 voucher.

• Employee Referrals: Bring in talent – earn £1,000 for Chef/Manager referrals or £250 for hourly roles.

• Global Industry Trips: For our top performers and wine experts – your next adventure awaits.

• Pension via Nest: Lock in your future with our pension plan.
