Café & Restaurant Host

The Wet Fish Café is a beloved independent restaurant in North London, known for its wild-caught Cornish fish, modern comfort food, genuine hospitality, and strong community spirit since 2003. We are excited to announce the opening of our new site in Primrose Hill and are building a dedicated team to launch this new venture. This is a unique opportunity to join a new establishment from its inception, help shape its identity, and contribute to a brand with real character and longevity.

As the team member, you will be the welcoming face of the café, confidently managing the floor and delivering the warm, attentive service our guests expect. Whether it's a relaxed weekend brunch, a productive working lunch, or a lively Friday evening brasserie service with live music, you will own the room and ensure an exceptional experience for every guest.

Reasons to use Rodeo

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.

It searches the market for you

Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.

Only hits

No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.

Key Responsibilities

Provide outstanding, confident front of house service across all-day trading hours. Efficiently take orders, offer informed recommendations on dishes and wines, and naturally upsell. Expeditiously run food from the kitchen and effectively manage the pace of service on the floor. Execute opening and closing procedures for the restaurant. Actively contribute to fostering a positive and professional team culture from day one.

What We're Looking For

A genuine warmth and engaging personality, we pride ourselves on being a neighbourhood restaurant, not a transactional establishment. Prior front of house experience gained in a café, bistro, or restaurant environment. Someone who demonstrates high standards and takes immense pride in their work. A collaborative team player who is also capable of working effectively and independently. A strong interest in food and drink is highly valued, as we are passionate about our offerings.
