Careers
Assistant General Manager
THE LOCATION
Conscious & creative dining in the heart of Wood Wharf from the trio behind Fallow restaurant. Named after native deer of the British Isles, Roe will follow the same nose-to-tail and root-to-stem ethos as its critically acclaimed sister restaurant, Fallow St James’s.
The extensive a la carte menu will be divided into nibbles and flatbreads, skewers, and grilled options, with larger plates and sides also available. As well as championing modest, British ingredients, Roe’s dishes will showcase underused and underappreciated produce.

- Contribute to financial performance through cost control, upselling strategies, and team productivity.
- Champion Roe’s ethos of sustainability, seasonality, and innovation in every aspect of the operation.
- Ensure compliance with health & safety, food hygiene, and licensing regulations.
