Deputy Head Sommelier The Ritz Hotel London
Date Posted April-2012
The Ritz London opened its doors on 24th May 1906 on the Piccadilly site of the Walsingham House Hotel, formerly the Bath Hotel. Conceived by renowned hotelier César Ritz,
The Ritz was praised for its brilliant refinement of detail and articulation. Large copper lions stand proudly at each corner of the roof while ranks of soaring chimneys and projecting dormers cleverly break the skyline.
The Ritz Restaurant, often described as one of the most beautiful dining rooms in Europe, appears to be permanently ‘en fête’ with its sumptuous chandeliers joined by gilt bronze garlands around the room. Diagonal angles of beautifully carved stone run the Gallery’s length, some opening to give views through to The Palm Court which epitomized the elegantly frivolous comfort of Edwardian high life.
In 1995 The Ritz was returned to private British ownership when it was bought by Sir David Barclay and Sir Frederick Barclay’s private company Ellerman Investments.
Almost immediately, a meticulous and complete refurbishment began on the Grade II * listed building. Fifteen years later The Ritz has been fully restored with no detail, either in the public areas or behind the scenes, left untouched.
We are looking for a Deputy Head Sommelier for one of the most prestigious and glamorous hotels and restaurants in the world.
The Role:
Under the guidance of Head Sommelier you will need to constantly achieve the service and product delivery with a high degree of customer care and service as The Ritz standards demand.
You will be working with a very highly experienced team of Sommeliers; you will need to overlook the daily operations and take care of the administration of the team in the absence of the Head Sommelier; you will be encouraged to enter national and international sommelier competitions.
The Person:
Previous experience as Sommelier or Deputy Head Sommelier in a high profile restaurant (3 years)
Good Command of the English language
Effective organisation skills
You must show motivation to learn and develop your knowledge to upsell various products from the extensive wine and bar menu.
We are looking for a focussed and customer oriented Sommelier with the ability to work in a team and perform well under pressure.
WSET Level 3 or equivalent is recommended
You will be able to work split and straight shifts and be available to work weekends.
Interested Sommeliers should forward their CV to:
