Chargal is seeking a disciplined and ambitious Sommelier to join our front-of-house team.


This is a unique hybrid role designed for a professional who possesses a deep foundational knowledge of wine and the technical finesse to manage a high-pressure restaurant section.



The Role
This position requires a dual focus: providing expert wine service and acting as a lead waiter for a dedicated section. You will be responsible for the end-to-end guest experience, ensuring that service standards remain flawless while driving wine engagement at the table.
Core Responsibilities:

  • Section Management: Overseeing a station with professional poise, taking food and beverage orders, and managing service timing.
  • Wine Service: Recommending pairings, performing professional decanting, and maintaining glassware standards.
  • Sales Integration: Identifying opportunities to enhance the guest experience through informed wine suggestions.
  • Cellar Support: Assisting the Head Sommelier with inventory management, bin organisation, and preparation for service.


Requirements

  • Proven Floor Experience: Background in a high-end or fast-paced dining environment. You must be confident in running a section independently.
  • Wine Proficiency: A strong understanding of international wine regions and service protocols. While WSET qualifications are preferred, we value practical knowledge and a sophisticated palate above all.
  • Professionalism: Exceptional communication skills and the ability to maintain composure in a demanding Mayfair environment.


Investment in Your Future
Chargal is committed to the professional evolution of our staff. We don't just offer a job; we offer a career path for those dedicated to the craft.

  • Competitive Commission System: We offer a highly attractive commission structure that rewards professional salesmanship and product knowledge.
  • Training & Development: Benefit from structured internal training, regular producer tastings, and masterclasses designed to elevate your technical skills.
  • Career Progression: We prioritize internal promotion, offering a clear trajectory toward senior sommelier and management roles.

Join the Team If you are a service professional with a passion for wine and a drive to succeed in one of London’s most prestigious postcodes, we invite you to apply.
