A Hospitality Recruitment Agency That Actually Knows the Industry
Cookaburra was founded by someone who started as a dishwasher at 16 and worked through Michelin-starred kitchens in London. That background means we understand what a great hospitality hire looks like far beyond a CV.
We recruit exclusively for permanent roles across London's restaurants, hotels, bars, members clubs, cafés and private dining venues. Every candidate is personally interviewed and reference-checked before we make a recommendation. We don't send bulk CVs. We send shortlists of people we would hire ourselves.
