Who we are:

Food innovation and team member education are what makes us tick. And our utter obsession with all things burgers and lobsters makes it easy. With a heart for provenance and the drive to continually source only the highest quality ingredients around, whether that’s our food or team members, our recipe is simple: source the best, treat it with respect and have a great time along the way.

You’ll need to be:

  • Passionate about our food and sending the very best of it out to our guests
  • See hospitality as a career, not just a job
  • Can play well with others, after all, we’re all one big team
  • Able to cope well in busy kitchen environments- you’ll have done this before
