FOOD & BEVERAGE ASSISTANT (CASUAL CONTRACT) – LOCKE LONDON TOWER BRIDGE
We are looking for an enthusiastic and service-driven Food & Beverage Assistant to join our on-property hotel team.
This role involves delivering high-quality service across our restaurants, bars, banqueting, and in-room dining outlets while ensuring every guest enjoys a warm and memorable experience.
This is a great opportunity for individuals passionate about hospitality who enjoy working in a fast-paced, team-oriented environment.
THE STAGE IS SET
The stage is set for something different.
We don't run conventional hotels; we build places with character and intent.
What began as a small UK aparthotel portfolio has grown into a European collection recognised for design and atmosphere - and we're now entering a new chapter.
As we redefine the brand and evolve our identity, we're focused on creating spaces that feel compelling, contemporary, and truly distinctive.
Locke leads with bold expression; Cove by Locke refines that same spirit into a quieter, more streamlined approach.
Guests come to rest, work, or escape.
Comfort is a given - great beds, hot showers, genuine service.
But we aim to create moments that feel memorable and a little unexpected, bringing back the sense of mood hospitality often lost.
This is our backdrop.
We're on an exciting journey step on stage and play your part.
