Why Woodhead?
Our food and drink menus are constantly changing so you'll constantly be introduced to new ingredients and wines to learn about. Our daily briefings are some of the best around (as is our staff food).

We have a considered and impactful perks package and are dedicated to creating an environment that gets the best out of our people.

About us
Woodhead Restaurant Group comprises 5 restaurants, all located in London.

We started with one restaurant (Portland in 2015) and added a few more into the fold over the last few years, driven by the talent of our teams rather than any grand expansion strategy.  

The Woodhead Restaurant Group is an equal opportunities employer. Our aim is to welcome everyone and create inclusive teams. We celebrate difference and encourage everyone to join us, and to be themselves at work. If you would like to read our Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Policy, please ask and we will be happy to share it with you.
