Sommelier, Noble Rot

Calling all aspiring Rotters!  Do you want to taste the best wines in the world every day?  Do you want to be part of our world class training programme?    Do you want to join a team of enthusiastic wine lovers?

Sommelier

You’ll ideally have spent a few years working at a restaurant with a recognised wine list as a waiter or sommelier and have genuine warmth and a love for providing great hospitality.

You’ll have a thirst for knowledge and will be motivated to become the best wine professional you can be.

You’ll have a good awareness of the type of producers we feature in our magazine and on the list.  We do have space for a range of wine knowledge on the team though, providing a high level of wine training and constant opportunities to taste interesting bottles, so this position is suitable for candidates earlier in their journey, as well as those with plenty of industry & academic experience.

You will work a section in the bar/restaurant to provide the highest standards of table service to our customers while selling from our constantly changing wine list.  Off the floor, you will assist with the organisation and administration of the wine program.

Work somewhere exceptional

Noble Rot restaurants have been included in the National Restaurant Awards Top 100 since opening in 2015, with Noble Rot Soho most recently being awarded #20 in 2021, along with Best Wine List of the Year, after Lamb’s Conduit won the same award 3 years in a row. With the extensive in-house training programme, sponsored external WSET training and opportunities to taste the best wines in the world every day, Noble Rot is undoubtedly one of the best places to learn about wine. If you have your sights on a career in wine this is the perfect first step.
