Imperial London Hotels has been running hotels in Central London for over 180 years, currently operating seven 3 & 4-star hotels in the heart of Bloomsbury. Independent and family-owned, ILH has a unique heritage and culture that remains its foundation as it evolves and modernises.

The portfolio includes The Royal National Hotel which remains UK's largest hotel with over 1,600 rooms, The Bedford Hotel, The President Hotel, The Tavistock Hotel, The Morton Hotel and our newly acquired IHG Branded Holiday Inn Bloomsbury. Following a major refurbishment, The Imperial Hotel will open as ILH flagship 4 Deluxe Hotel in 2026.

We are now recruiting Kitchen Porters for our Tavistock Hotel.

As Kitchen Porter, you are a key member of the team and while you won’t be cooking, you’ll support both the front of house and back of house teams to ensure the restaurant operation runs smoothly.

Your key duties will include:

1. Assisting the kitchen and restaurant with washing plates, cutlery, and other kitchen utensils.
2. Ensuring the kitchen is maintained to the highest standards of hygiene through cleaning of appliances and all surface areas.
3. Adhering to company policy controls and standards (due diligence and HSE).
4. Maintaining food safety at all times whether storing, holding, or preparing food.

What we would like from you

If you have gained previous experience in a kitchen environment, that’s great, but most importantly, you’ll be willing to learn. We’ll provide you with the training on what you need to do daily but will also support your career and development if you want to progress further in the kitchen. With your positive attitude and hard-working ethic, you’ll take pride in your appearance and enjoy working in an exciting environment as a key part of a busy kitchen team.
