About La Nouvelle Garde

La Nouvelle Garde is redefining the modern French brasserie. We serve classic French dishes done properly — with care, generosity and precision — in lively, relaxed spaces full of energy. Our restaurants are fast-paced, people-led and never stuffy. Quality matters. Atmosphere matters. Team spirit matters most.

The Role

As Head Bartender, you are the guardian of the bar.

You own the bar operation end to end — from product quality and speed of service to team training, stock control and guest experience. You lead from behind the bar, set standards and ensure the bar is a place guests love to sit, drink and return to.

What we're offering

  • From £32,000 annual salary + Service charge

  • 28 days holiday

  • Start date : May 16th 2026

Why It’s Awesome to Join La Nouvelle Garde

  • GP Service & EAP discount : because taking care of our teams matters as much as taking care of our guests: access to a virtual GP and confidential counselling, so you’re supported on and off shift.

  • Everything is homemade — and when we say everything, we mean everything. We receive whole cuts of meat and entire fish, and everything is prepared in-house, the Nouvelle Garde way.

  • 100% of your staff meal covered during working hours

  • 50% discount in all our brasseries to treat yourself
