Description

Head Waiter/ess – Sale e Pepe Mare at The Langham, London

Set to open within The Langham, London, this marks a new chapter in the storied legacy of Sale e Pepe, the iconic Knightsbridge restaurant that has defined Italian dining in the capital since 1974 — a fitting partnership that sees two London icons come together under one roof.

Sale e Pepe Mare will capture the sun-soaked energy, vibrant dishes, and unmistakable sense of la dolce vita. Serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner, the restaurant celebrates the finest seafood while offering a sophisticated dining and bar experience inspired by the Mediterranean coast.

We are seeking a polished, professional, and hospitality-driven Head Waiter/ess to join our opening team and help bring the character and charm of Italian dining culture to life at Sale e Pepe Mare. You will deliver refined service with personality and warmth while ensuring guests feel genuinely welcomed and cared for.

Working closely with the management team, you will take ownership of your section, guide guests through the menu, anticipate their needs, and help create a vibrant, memorable dining experience that reflects the timeless spirit of Italian hospitality.

About Us

At Sale e Pepe Mare, we honour the heritage of a London classic while embracing a new era of coastal Italian dining. With our home at The Langham, we bring together sophistication, tradition, and the spirited warmth of Mediterranean hospitality. If you are passionate about food, people, and delivering an elevated guest experience, join our dynamic, dedicated opening team and be part of something truly special.
