St Jamesamps, United Kingdom CV-Library Full time

Ambassadors ClubHouse are seeking a Junior Sommelier to join their team. The successful candidate will be friendly, personable and passionate about all things food and drink. This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced Junior Sommelier looking for a new role in an award winning, critically acclaimed group.

The Restaurant

Ambassadors Club House - New Opening

Named after the Sethis’ maternal grandfather, a former Indian Ambassador, the restaurant will take inspiration from his summer house in Dalhousie (formerly part of Punjab) and North India’s abandoned party mansions, as well as the founders’ own Punjabi heritage.

The menu focuses on the cuisine of undivided Punjab. Culinary traditions and rare regional recipes will be showcased with a menu featuring classic papads, chaats & bitings, lesser-known kebabs cooked across the tandoor, sigri and tawa; curries cooked in cast-iron karahis and clay matkas, pilaus, biryanis, tandoor-roasted breads, and classic desserts.

An all-day drinks list brings guests through lunch to dinner to late-night party, with a focus on tequila and mezcal cocktails blended with regional produce. Highlights include a selection of ‘Punjabi Margaritas’ all made with exotic north Indian fruits and citrus and paired with chaat masala spiced salts. Encapsulating the traditions of Punjab where hospitality and generosity are celebrated through the sharing of fine liquor in abundance.

The dining room features a maximalist central bar with a gold dome, booth seating and counter dining while the lower ground floor will feature a drinking and dining space, alongside a DJ booth, open until late.

The Position

As Junior Sommelier, you will be responsible for delivering the highest levels of service and an exceptional guest experience within the restaurant and private dining rooms. You will recommend and sell wines to customers both to complement their tastes and to pair with their menu choices.

The successful Junior Sommelier will have:

An engaging and personable nature;
A passion for hospitality and delivering an exceptional guest experience;
Prior experience as a Junior Sommelier within a quality restaurant;
WSET or equivalent Sommelier qualification (preferred but not essential);
A professional and confident communication style with fluent English language ability;

An excellent knowledge of food and beverage;
The eagerness to continually learn and develop your career within hospitality.
