Head Waiter - London

Location: IGNI, Mayfair, London

About Us

IGNI, located in the heart of Mayfair, London, is the evolution of fire-led dining.

Built on years of culinary expertise, IGNI is a refined expression of cooking with fire-where flame is not just a tool, but a language. Every element of the experience is shaped by precision, restraint, and a deep respect for wood-fired cooking.

At IGNI, we cook exclusively with wood-no electricity, no gas-creating a dining experience entirely driven by flame. With a focus on exceptional, globally sourced produce, particularly seafood, each ingredient is carefully sourced and transformed to reveal its full depth of flavour, texture, and character.

Our approach is rooted in control, craftsmanship, and intention. Every dish reflects a balance between nature and technique, delivering an experience that is both elevated and immersive.

We embrace individuality and diversity, fostering an environment where creativity thrives and where our team is empowered to deliver exceptional hospitality.

Our Leadership

IGNI is led by Executive Chef Theo Clench and General Manager Gaelle Dubios, whose combined expertise in culinary excellence and refined hospitality shape every aspect of the guest experience.

Position Available: Full-Time Head Waiter/Waitress

  • Leadership & Team Spirit - A natural leader who supports, guides, and motivates the team to deliver seamless service
  • Passion for Hospitality - A genuine commitment to delivering excellence and continuously improving the guest experience
