Corner Corner is a ground-breaking collaboration between Broadwick, renowned for transforming venues like Printworks and Drumsheds into cultural landmarks, and KERB, pioneers of London's street food scene. Situated in the heart of Canada Water, Corner Corner is a dynamic destination where food, music, and sustainability converge.
At the core of Corner Corner is a commitment to sustainability, exemplified by London's largest commercial indoor vertical farm developed by Harvest London. This innovative farm supplies fresh, locally grown produce directly to our food hall and all-day cafe, fostering a hyper-local food ecosystem. Our venue features a curated selection of independent food vendors, an all-day cafe, and a vibrant live music program, creating a unique cultural hub that celebrates the diversity of London's culinary and artistic communities.
As a Bartender at Corner Corner, reporting to the Bar Supervisor, you will play a key role in delivering outstanding hospitality by serving a diverse selection of drinks from independent brewers and businesses. The primary responsibilities of this role will include crafting and presenting beverages, engaging with guests, and ensuring a memorable experience through 'Exceptional Hospitality'. This position is well suited to someone with a strong interest in being a part of KERB, ideally, with a good understanding of casual food and beverage service. You should have experience working in a fast-paced setting, with a keen eye for spotting upselling opportunities.
Whilst a background in the street food scene and experience in high-volume bars or hospitality is highly desirable, the most important qualities you bring to the role are a positive/flexible attitude and excellent communication skills.
