Assistant General Manager

We are beyond thrilled to have opened the long-awaited and critically acclaimed AngloThai, in partnership with John and Desiree Chantarasak, in central London. In an incredible achievement, just a few months after opening, we were awarded a Michelin star — a testament to the passion, talent, and dedication of our team. We couldn’t be prouder!

We’re looking for an experienced and passionate Assistant General Manager to lead and inspire our team, run a seamless service and create magical moments for our guests. We want our service to be approachable, fun and consistent whilst always ensuring high standards are met.

A love for hospitality and strong attention to detail is a must with a desire to grow and develop within MJMK Restaurants.

John draws influences from both sides of his Thai and British heritage to create dishes inspired by the eclectic cuisine of Thailand, while utilising the abundance of world class ingredients found within the British Isles. An alumnus from celebrated Thai restaurants Som Saa (London) and Nahm (Bangkok), John has spent the last decade honing his craft to bring this unique and exciting concept to the London dining scene.

Desiree looks to her relationships with sustainably focused, small batch wine producers in Europe to complement the food at AngloThai, with many wines celebrating the craftsmanship and passion of a new generation of exciting wine growers. Well crafted, ethically minded and deeply delicious wines are the focus at AngloThai.

As an Assistant General Manager at AngloThai, we can offer you:

• £50,000 salary package, dependent on your experience.
• 50% staff discount across all MJMK Restaurants.
• Free staff meals while on shift.

• An extra day’s holiday every year you’re with us up until 33 days.
• An enhanced pension plan after you’ve worked with us for 5 years.

An AngloThai Assistant General Manager is:

• A hands-on, natural leader who can support the General Manager to nurture and grow a large team.
• An enthusiastic and proactive individual, who is happy taking responsibility for all areas of the restaurant.
• Able to work with integrity, excellent attention to detail and strong communication skills.
• Passionate and knowledgeable about food, wine and hospitality and able to exceed guests’ expectation.
• Responsible for their knowledge and learning in their job role, always looking to consistently be the best.

As an AGM, you’ll be a dynamic and engaging presence, confident in leading and motivating your team, whilst ensuring a memorable and exceptional experience for all.

Key requirements for this role are a passion for best-in-class hospitality, generosity of spirit, a positive outlook, and love of all things restaurants and people.

You will need to demonstrate strong organisational skills, attention to detail and an understanding of what it takes to run some of the best restaurants in London.

We’d love to hear from you if you’re an experienced Assistant General Manager and you’re up for a new challenge and the opportunity to work alongside John and Desiree Chantarasak.
