Looking for something different? Why not try something new, energising & innovative.

Everything about Bar+Block cuts away from the herd. If your passion is anything like ours, you’ll fit right in. We’re here for those looking for fresh experiences without the traditional steakhouse stuffiness.

As part of our expert, knowledgeable team, you’ll create steak experiences that give convention the chop! Whether creating the perfect pairing from our namesake bar, or sharing your infectious enthusiasm about the daily special, the whole team play a part in bringing the brand experience to life

The values that we are looking for:

• Hard working, proud and committed- never standing by and watching but rolling up your sleeves ready to muck in.
• Relaxed, informal and genuine with the ability to put your team at ease and understand their needs.
• Dedicated to the steak experience with pride in the food that you and your team prepare and present.
• Straight talking and confident with consistency in all that you say and do.
• An eye for detail with food, cleanliness, ordering and stock control.
• A passion to lead, motivate and develop a team of people to become experts in the kitchen. 

What’s in it for you:

• Rapidly growing across the UK, we can offer extensive career progression and opportunities within the brand and across our wider Whitbread family
• Market leading salaries
• Up to 25% of your annual salary in bonuses
• Eligible for a great pension and share save business scheme
• 25% off in Whitbread Restaurants and up to 50% off Premier Inn hotels
• High street and retail discounts, including phone packages, cinema tickets and Gym membership

Whatever the time of day or occasion, we believe in the power of kicking back and enjoying one of life’s greatest pleasures, food! Interested in working somewhere different? We’d love to hear from you.
