Unwined are looking for enthusiastic and wine-loving people to join our brilliant team, with a specific interest and passion for wine and keen to learn and grow within the company.

Combined foh & kitchen role.

Here's something you don't see often: one role, both sides of the business. In this role at Unwined, you'll learn the floor and the kitchen properly, which makes this a brilliant opportunity for anyone starting out in hospitality, and a natural fit for recent graduates of hospitality or culinary programmes looking to build real, rounded experience.

We're a small independent wine bar in Waterloo with a really interesting wine list, a kitchen that punches above its size, and regulars who actually talk to us.

You'll split your time between front of house; table service, looking after guests, talking (and learning) about wine, and the kitchen, where you'll help with prep, set-up, keeping things clean and assist on events. No wine expertise needed, just the appetite to learn, and we'll teach you the rest.

We're after someone who's as happy talking to a guest as they are prepping quietly before service - you’ll be curious, unflappable when it's busy, and genuinely interested in how good hospitality works.

Do a year with us and you'll have gained proper wine knowledge, and be able to hold your own in a kitchen - the kind of rounded grounding that's hard to get anywhere that keeps front and back of house in separate boxes.

In return:

£18+ p/hr including a share of service charge and gratuities, approx. 30–40 hours a week on a Tuesday–Saturday rota at our Waterloo site. Good base rate + service charge/tips, pro-rata annual leave, bank holidays off and a workplace pension as standard.

If the idea of learning a whole business rather than one corner of it appeals, we'd love to hear from you. Must be eligible to live and work in the UK without sponsorship.

To apply please email your CV + cover letter to jobs@unwinedbars.co.uk 

wine co-ordinator & foh supervisor.

We're looking for a Wine Co-ordinator to join our small, passionate team at our independent wine bar and restaurant in Waterloo. It's a role for someone who wants to run a great floor and take real ownership of the wine - the list, the tastings, the knowledge that runs through the team. We're a small independent bar with a properly interesting list, a kitchen that punches above its size, and regulars who actually talk to us, and if you're excited by wine and want to be somewhere your ideas actually land, this is a proper step up.

This is a floor-based role where you'll lead by example, keep service running smoothly, and be the person the team looks to when it's busy. Alongside supervising FOH, you'll co-ordinate the wine side of the business - managing and curating the list, writing up wines, running stock and tastings, and being the team's first port of call for wine questions. Beyond that, you'll have a hand in our marketing, from the social plan to Instagram and the newsletter, and in the day-to-day operations: staff training and away days, supplier communication, keeping an eye across the site, and joining the weekly ops meeting with a real grasp of the numbers.

You might be a senior FOH team member ready to step up, or already supervising somewhere small and looking for a role with a genuine wine angle - either way, wine is the thing that excites you. Ideally you'll have WSET Level 2 or 3 (or be working towards it), strong wine knowledge and the curiosity to keep building it, solid table-service experience and a calm, confident presence when the room is full. Just as important is the organisation to juggle a list, a rota and a social plan without dropping any of them. Experience with list curation, training or tastings is a bonus, but if you've got the enthusiasm and the palate, we'll help you develop the rest.

In return:

£19+ p/hr including a share of service charge and gratuities, 40 hours a week alternating mon-fri & tue-sat rota, 20 days paid annual leave plus bank holidays, a workplace pension, and real room to grow.

If you want a role where you're running the floor and shaping the wine, we'd love to hear from you. Must be eligible to live and work in the UK without sponsorship.

To apply please email your CV + cover letter to jobs@unwinedbars.co.uk

🍷 wine, wine, wine!

We love wine, and want to take you on a wine journey with us. We sponsor WSET wine training, attend regular tastings, sponsor monthly staff wines and we even do our own course in house! You also get access to great wines at massively discounted prices - our little way to say cheers! 

👯‍♀️ family!

Our team may be small but truly dedicated - this creates a sincere family feel that makes for an extremely supportive and lovely working atmosphere! Did we mention we like a staff party or two as well?

😉 keeping it casual!

We are casual and easy going - we speak about wine in this way too, so don’t think you will be joining a stuffy wine bar. As part of our relaxed nature, we let the team wear what they feel comfortable in for service. We also have SUPER friendly clientele, and amazing regulars to chat to about wine!

🍽️ service!

We pride ourselves on our service at Unwined. On top of your salary/pay rate, you’ll get a portion of service charge. There are no deductions for admin or card charges, 100% of all service charge and tips are shared by the team.

🌱 growth!

You give what you get with Unwined. We love to promote from within, we take on board your ideas, and want you to help us shape the business as it grows. In that way this can be a job that you find truly rewarding.

⚖️ balance!

Whilst any hospitality role does require largely evening work, we do strive for fair rotas, prioritising two days off in a row (inc Sundays), and go above and beyond to give you time off for any social commitments you have.

📈 skills!

We love to tap into the team's natural skills for them to develop and grow by utilising them within the business. There is further opportunity to learn new skills with us too from food safety to social media and even self defence!
