Delamina EAST is where our story began.
Originally launched as a residency at Shoreditch House, Delamina EAST became our first permanent restaurant and remains the heart of the brand. We are proud to hold a 4.6★ TripAdvisor rating and Travellers’ Choice 2025, built on consistency, genuine hospitality, and a strong people-led culture.
Our food reflects our Eastern Mediterranean heritage. We cook the way we grew up eating — grilling and roasting fresh, seasonal ingredients, full of goodness and flavour. The menu is naturally healthy, with excellent vegan and vegetarian options, ethically sourced produce, a strong cocktail list, and a busy weekend brunch alongside consistently strong weekday trade.
The Restaurant
- 60-cover restaurant with a small private dining area

- Coach and develop your management and front-of-house team
- Work closely with the kitchen to maintain a strong, respectful partnership
- Protect and build the culture and reputation of the brand
What We’re Looking For
- Proven experience as a General Manager, or strong Restaurant Manager ready to step up
- Strong people management and leadership skills
- Solid understanding of P&L, rotas, and stock control
- Service-first mindset — calm, visible, and decisive
- Comfortable in a fast-paced, hands-on environment
- Pride in standards, team culture, and hospitality
What We Offer
- £50,000–£53,000 total package, including tronc
- 48-hour full-time contract
- Payment every 4 week
- Supportive, hands-on owners and leadership team
- A respected and growing restaurant group
- People-focused culture with no egos
- Opportunity to grow with the business as we expand
- A company that is genuinely proud of its food, service, reviews, and people
If you are a General Manager who enjoys leading from the floor, building strong teams, and running a restaurant properly, Delamina EAST is a place you can be proud to lead.
