About us:
We're Sam Harrison and Fanny Stocker — we founded Sam's Riverside in Hammersmith and Sam's Waterside in Brentford, two Michelin Guide-listed brasseries in West London that we're deeply proud of.
Sam is on the floor most days, working alongside our team — because we both believe in leading from the front. The people who work with us aren't just employees; they're part of our family. We're a small, close-knit group and we're honest about that — we only work with the right people, and when we find them, we invest in them properly.
We're passionate about this industry and everything it can offer. We believe that amazing hospitality should always be a joy — for our guests and for the people delivering it. If you share that belief, and want to be part of a team that takes its craft seriously while having fun doing it, we'd love to hear from you.
You:
- Believe great hospitality starts in the kitchen
- Take real pride in the food you prepare and the work you do
- Are organised, reliable and calm under pressure
- Care about quality, consistency and attention to detail
- Work cleanly, safely and with respect for the kitchen around you
- Are a team player who makes the shift better for everyone
- Are curious about food and keen to keep learning
- Want to develop your skills and build a career in hospitality
- Have the Right to Work in the UK
- Have credible, positive references from former employers
Come and work with us. Learn with us. Grow with us.
At Sam’s, we celebrate diversity and champion inclusion. Everyone is welcome, respected, and valued - just as they are. We’re proud to be an inclusive employer and welcome applications from people of all backgrounds and identities.
If this sounds like the place for you, we'd love to hear from you.
