Chef de Partie
Salary dependent on experience plus tronc
The Lyon, George Street, Edinburgh
The concept takes everything people love about a proper pub and dials it up: heritage paired with a contemporary hospitality and entertainment experience. Rooted in tradition with good food, good drinks and good company at its core, the space evolves through the day, beginning as a warm, food-led public house before building into a lively, immersive entertainment destination by night.
Drawing on the building's history of theatre and energy, live entertainment sits at the heart of the venue. The food offering is classic pub dishes done properly, anchored by a signature pie concept from our in-house pastry chef, while the drinks remain firmly beer-hall inspired, with over 18 draught beer products alongside an extensive cocktail and wine selection. It is a wet and dry led operation with a strong emphasis on atmosphere, drinks and late-night trade, and a genuine food identity to match.
For the team, that means a fast-paced, high-energy environment where standards, hospitality and showmanship matter — a place guests settle into, but that keeps surprising them as the night unfolds.
