Are you the kind of Host who can make someone feel welcome before they’ve even stepped through the door? Someone who can read the room, manage the flow and start conversations with confidence, turning a busy arrival into a seamless and memorable first impression?
At Market Halls, we’re not just looking for someone to greet guests. You’ll be the first face our guests see and the last they remember, setting the tone for their entire visit. From managing bookings and coordinating seating across our venue and to touching tables, answering questions and confidently upselling drinks, you’ll create a warm, organised and energetic welcome that keeps the experience running smoothly from the very start.
Working in a fast-paced, high-volume environment, you’ll take ownership of the guest journey at the door, managing busy services with confidence and keeping communication flowing between the floor, bar and kitchen teams. Being a Host here is all about creating great first impressions, maintaining the energy of the venue and ensuring every guest feels looked after from arrival to departure.
Just moments from Paddington Station, our newest Market Halls is always alive with movement, flavour and good energy. With 8 vibrant street-food traders, 2 bars, a live stage and an outdoor terrace, it’s a space where locals and commuters come together every day. As a Floor Server here, you’ll be right in the centre of the buzz — welcoming guests, keeping the vibe flowing and helping create the lively, friendly atmosphere that makes Paddington such a standout destination.
