  • What To Expect

  • Competitive Pay : £12.50 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.

  • 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.
