Welcome to The Pearson Room, a casual, yet
sophisticated restaurant and cocktail bar, situated in the heart of Canary
Wharf, but tucked away from the hustle and bustle. We reopened our doors in
February 2022 and have had a hugely successful year, built off the back strong reputation over 8 years
and a prime location overlooking Canada Square.

will have accountability for restaurant operations with support from central

If successful, your
mission is to inspire
and motivate your team to deliver a world class customer experience whilst

maximising revenue opportunities, controlling costs and providing a safe and
