Restaurant General Manager - Seabird

We are looking for a Restaurant General Manager to be part of our team for The Hoxton, Southwark in our Seabird restaurant.

The Hoxton, Southwark, the third Hoxton in our hometown of London. This London borough is known for its colourful history. Right here is where famous London pub The Prince Albert once stood. Patrons would bet on sport from their barstool, handing fistfuls of cash to the pub’s very own licensed bookie!

We have 192 bedrooms, 2 restaurants- Albie & Seabird and our first Working From_ location not just in London but Europe!

Albie is our all-day neighbourhood restaurant, serving up familiar classics with a twist, inspired by the diverse international food scene of the surrounding neighbourhood. Seabird is our rooftop restaurant on the 14th floor, boasting an impressive raw bar, London’s longest oyster list and panoramic views of the city.

Seabird:

Enjoy panoramic views in the heart of Southwark. Featuring an array of sea-to-table offerings with Portuguese and Spanish influences.
