Key responsibilities of the role include:
<ul><li>Working with the bar team to deliver excellent service and hospitality to the Hawksmoor standard.</li><li>
Focus on delivering drink quality to the highest standard and consistency.
</li><li>Working with the team with setting up, running and breaking down the bar for each service.</li><li>
Excellent rapport with your team and guests.</li><li>
