Waiter / Waitress @ Vintry Kitchen at Vintry & Mercer Hotel (New Opening)

NEW OPENING | FULL-TIME 45 HOURS PER WEEK | GREAT BENEFITS

We are looking for a talented individual to join our team in the capacity of Waiter / Waitress for the opening of our new hotel in The City (EC4V).

VINTRY & MERCER HOTEL (OPENING 4TH FEBRUARY 2019)

VINTRY KITCHEN
Vintry Kitchen is an Asian tapas eatery on the ground floor, with a menu that pulses with fresh, bold Asian flavours from morning to night. Wine is central to our approach — close to the hotel, merchant sailors landing from Bordeaux used to store their wines. At Vintry Kitchen, our wine is tapped straight from the large barrels lining the gantry. Our dishes incorporate the flavours of Asia, from the salty tang of miso and the fiery kick of kimchi, to the freshness of yuzu and gentle heat of wasabi — each dish served on small plates, perfect for sharing.

MERCER ROOF TERRACE
Mercer Roof Terrace, on the top floor of Vintry & Mercer, takes in the sweep of London’s skyline, from the dome of St Paul’s Cathedral to the glass tip of The Shard. Here guests can dine al fresco above the city lights. Inside, the atmosphere is warm and convivial, with floor-to-ceiling glass doors opening wide to the night’s sky.

DND
Vintry & Mercer’s speakeasy-style cocktail bar hidden in the hotel’s basement. The mood is one of retro glamour and sophistication – a reflection of the notorious prohibition speakeasies that crept into the back streets of 1920’s New York.
