London, Greater London, United Kingdom The Columbo Group Full time

We're searching for a host to join our team at The Blues Kitchen.

We're looking for a Host with a warm presence and a genuine approach to hospitality. You'll be the first face our guests see—managing the door, coordinating bookings, and setting the tone for a great night. This is a high-volume, late-night venue, so we're after someone who stays calm under pressure, communicates clearly, and keeps things running smoothly. In return, we offer the chance to grow and develop within a team that values people and progression.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Greeting and seating guests with confidence and care
  • Managing bookings, walk-ins, and waitlists
  • Supporting the front-of-house team during busy services
  • Coordinating with the floor and kitchen to maintain flow
  • Creating a calm, welcoming front-of-house environment

What We're Looking For

  • Experience in a guest-facing role
  • Comfortable in a fast-paced, late-night setting
  • Strong communication and organisation skills
  • Friendly, reliable, and professional
  • Keen to grow within a hospitality-focused team

What To Expect

  • Competitive Pay: £12.25 per hour plus tronc (total package usually in the range of £15-17 per hour). Hourly wages paid every two weeks on a Friday and tronc is paid on the last Friday of the month.
  • The Blues Kitchen is a lively bar, restaurant and music venue meaning our teams work a variety of daytime and evening shifts over the course of the week.
  • No uniforms here - bring your best self.

Why You'll Love Working With Us

  • Food & Social Perks: Enjoy 50% off across our venues (25% at The Parakeet), our annual celebrations and free access to our events and festivals.
  • Career Growth: At The Columbo Academy, your ambition is our inspiration. We're here to guide you on a clear path to personal and professional greatness.
  • Hero of the Month: Get recognized for your standout work and enjoy a paid weekend off.
  • Bar & Restaurant Incentives: Top seller in drinks revenue pockets a £50 voucher.
  • Employee Referrals: Bring in talent – earn £1,000 for Chef/Manager referrals or £250 for hourly roles.
  • Global Industry Trips: For our top performers and wine experts – your next adventure awaits.
  • Pension via Nest: Lock in your future with our pension plan.

The award-winning Blues Kitchen is one of London's most loved and legendary venues. Stunningly beautiful, it is the perfect space to soak up a live soundtrack of timeless blues and soul from world-famous musicians. With all American favourites on the menu and an expertly curated selection of drinks, The Blues Kitchen stands as one of the UK's most loved nightlife experiences.
