About PYRO

A celebration of cooking over fire, PYRO is a bold, 95-cover restaurant in the heart of Borough from ex-HIDE Head Chef Yiannis Mexis. Showcasing refined Greek flavours, seasonal produce, and a laid-back taverna-style energy, PYRO is all about food to linger over and service that feels like home. With our large outdoor terrace and garden bar becoming the focus of the summer months, we are looking for high-energy talent to join our flagship team.

The Role

We are looking for creative and high-energy Bartenders to join our garden bar and indoor program for a seasonal contract between May and mid-September. At PYRO, our drinks are an extension of the kitchen-focused on seasonal botanicals, fire-inspired techniques, and premium spirits. You'll be delivering world-class mixology in a fast-paced environment where the atmosphere is as intense as the wood-fired grill.

Note: While this is a seasonal contract ending in mid-September, there may be the option to extend based on performance and business needs.

Must-Have Requirements

• Mixology Mastery: Advanced skills in cocktail creation and a genuine passion for innovation. You should be comfortable with classic builds and bespoke, seasonal signatures.
• High-Volume Excellence: Proven experience working in high-volume bars without compromising on premium service standards or garnish precision.
• Commercial Awareness: A focus on consistency and waste management to ensure the bar remains profitable and efficient.
• Spirit Knowledge: A deep understanding of spirits, particularly Mediterranean-inspired liqueurs and botanicals, to align with our Greek heritage.
• Team Performance: A proactive "can-do" attitude-helping to train juniors and ensuring the bar station is always prepped for a high-intensity shift.
• Hospitality Soul: The ability to engage guests at the garden bar with the warmth of a traditional taverna and the polish of a London flagship.
• Availability: Full availability to complete the contract duration from May through to mid-September.

Why Join PYRO?

• Peak Season Experience: Help define the beverage culture of a major new London opening during its busiest months.
• Innovation: Work with top-tier seasonal produce and unique fire-led flavour profiles.
• Borough's Best: Be part of a high-profile venue led by ex-HIDE talent in one of the city's most iconic food hubs.
• Structured Environment: Gain experience in a professional, fast-paced setting with a clear focus on quality and consistency.
