About Us

Town is a modern British restaurant from chef Stevie Parle, located in the heart of Covent Garden. We cook over open fire, work directly with regenerative producers, and serve food rooted in seasonality, simplicity, and provenance. Our service is calm, confident and genuinely warm — designed to make people feel truly welcome.

The Role

We’re looking for experienced, confident Waiters and Waitresses to join the front-of-house team at Town.

What You’ll Do

  • Guide the Guest Experience: Run your section from greet to goodbye — set the pace and read the room.
  • Communicate with Confidence: Take clear, accurate orders and share specials and timings with confidence.
  • Be a Team Player: Work closely with kitchen, bar and host so service flows without interruption.
  • Uphold Our Standards: Keep the floor guest‑ready; help with set‑up, close‑down and occasional events.

Requirements

  • Proven FOH experience in a quality, fast‑paced restaurant or bar (approx. 2+ years).
  • Warm, professional presence; calm, kind and consistent under pressure.
  • Clear, confident communication and a collaborative approach to teamwork.
  • Curiosity about food, fire-led cooking, and sustainable sourcing.
  • Sound allergen awareness and menu knowledge; comfortable using a modern POS.
  • Reliability, punctuality and the legal right to work in the UK.

Benefits

  • Competitive Pay & Earning Potential
    • £15.50 – £17.00 per hour typical take-home pay, including a discretionary share of the service charge (tronc).
    • £36,270 – £40,000 indicative annual earnings (based on a 45-hour week).
  • Hours & rota: full‑time, 5 days over 7 including evenings and weekends; rotas shared in advance.
  • Holiday: 29 days per year including public holidays (pro rata).
  • Perks: meals on duty, generous staff discount, structured training, tastings and clear progression in a growing group.
