Who We Are
Wake The Tiger is a radical creative company born in the South West and the visionary force behind the world's first Amazement Park®. We fuse immersive art, storytelling, and purpose to create unforgettable experiences that disrupt the norm and ignite transformation.
Following the success of our Bristol site, we're expanding to London in 2026 with an all-new immersive world designed to spark imagination and challenge perception on a whole new scale.
Our mission is simple: We create immersive experiences for everyone, where art, storytelling and purpose collide - to inspire change today that transforms the world tomorrow.
The Role
This is a fantastic opportunity for an ambitious, driven individual to take the next step in their hospitality career at London's most exciting new immersive attraction.
Wake The Tiger have built an Bar and Kitchen set in their new attraction: Absurd City. It will serve everything from cocktails to coffees throughout the day to ticket holders, and we have partnered with a chosen caterer to deliver a high-class meat-free menu in a fully kitted out commercial kitchen.
That's not all though: It will also be open to the public in its own right and has set the goal of being an essential cocktail bar destination in London.
