ABOUT US
This is an opportunity to be part of the ambitious and friendly team at a successful independent restaurant entering its second full year of operation.
Our Tuscan-influenced restaurant, Doppo, received some of the highest reviews of 2024 and ended the year with guest ratings of 4.8 on both Google and OpenTable.
Our location in the middle of Soho is unparalleled and our beautiful Georgian townhouse accommodates around 40 covers, a small enough number that we pay real attention to our guests, yet big enough that we always have a buzzy atmosphere.
We have an unusually strong focus on the quality and provenance of our ingredients, using the very best premium suppliers across the board, as well as developing direct relationships with farmers and growers.
Our other great passion is wine; with over 600 references, our list is already acknowledged as one of the strongest in the UK with many wines not found elsewhere.
