BarTender - London (West)

Once a magnet for the great and good of the city, the traditional British influence is reflected to this day. Sitting right in the heart of Piccadilly, our hotel is as London as it gets! The Dilly has built a reputation as one of the City’s finest. Bringing together luxury and history (having once had the patronage of King George V!), we bring the best of London’s essence in our local cuisine, upbeat vibe and style. Our love for London is in our DNA and is reflected in all that we do. Our unique personality can’t be found anywhere else.

As a Bartender you’ll be a face of the hotel, so we want you to bring your warm and friendly personality to work with you every day. Take a deep breath because you’ll be stepping into a busy role! You’ll ensure guests take advantage of the cosy yet elegant piano bar, Downstairs at The Dilly has to offer. You’ll be preparing and serving drinks and cocktails, entertaining and welcoming our guests, and working as part of a vibrant team to deliver first-class hospitality.
