Waiter

About The Groucho Club

The Groucho exists to keep Soho’s artistic, liberal spirit burning bright, and to champion London’s role as a creative powerhouse on the world stage. A joyful, generous and welcoming space for ideas, creative life and the occasional late night. 

Born in 1985 as the antidote to the cloistered gentlemen’s clubs of London’s Mayfair, The Groucho Club was founded on a  radical idea: that good company is the kind chosen by ideas rather than status, that emerging voices belong in the same room as established ones, and that culture is made through conversation, collision and curiosity. 

Forty years on, that belief still drives everything we do. We exist to facilitate the conversations that shape culture now and next, to back the people making it, and to keep Soho generous, welcoming and alive to creative possibility. We host, we don’t serve. 

Members and guests are people we know, not names on a list.

Private Events Waiter

We’re searching for a waiter who brings more than service, someone who helps create a seamless experience from the very first setup to the final farewell. This role goes beyond the floor; it’s about being part of the full event journey, from transforming spaces to delivering exceptional, attentive service.

You’ll be hands-on, adaptable, and quietly efficient, equally comfortable moving furniture and resetting a room as you are serving guests with polish and warmth. The ideal candidate combines a strong work ethic with natural hospitality, understanding that every detail contributes to the atmosphere and success of our events.

Why is this so important? Because every room transformation, every perfectly placed table, every interaction with a guest shapes the experience. At The Groucho Club, private events are a reflection of who we are: thoughtful, vibrant, and effortlessly memorable.

• Taking food and drink orders confidently and accurately when required, providing knowledgeable and personable service.
• Maintaining awareness of the event flow, anticipating needs before they arise to ensure a seamless guest experience.
• Clearing, resetting, and maintaining tables and spaces efficiently without disrupting the atmosphere.
• Closing down events with care, ensuring all areas are returned to standard and ready for the next service.

What Makes You a Great Fit

• Experience in hospitality or events service, you understand the pace, energy, and teamwork required to deliver exceptional experiences.
• Physically capable and hands-on, comfortable with lifting, moving furniture, and being active throughout your shift.
• Polished and personable, you take pride in your presentation and bring a natural warmth to every interaction.
• A strong team player, you collaborate effortlessly and are always ready to step in and support where needed.
• Adaptable and calm under pressure, whether navigating a busy event or handling last-minute changes, you stay composed and solutions-focused.
• A natural host, you understand that great service is about attentiveness, anticipation, and making guests feel at ease.
• Organised and detail-oriented, ensuring every setup is correct and every service runs smoothly.
• Clear communicator, confident in engaging with guests and coordinating with colleagues.
• Energetic and proactive, you bring momentum and positivity to every shift.
• Flexible and reliable, ready to adapt to the varied demands of private events with a can-do attitude.
