Our premium bars and restaurants are places in which our customers will be able to sit back, relax and watch the world go by. Whether they are stopping in for a quick coffee break or dining in for an extraordinary culinary experience our customers expect the best. With a range of menus our bar teams deliver impeccable service every time. As part of this team you will engage with customers and create a luxurious experience where our customers can enjoy a choice of the latest trend setting cocktails, fine wines, a glass of champagne, or one of a range of specially selected craft beers.
Our restaurants are open 7 days a week and you will be required to work weekends and late nights as part of a team rota however working within a retail store, more sociable hours can be expected. Our founder, Harry Gordon Selfridge, famously expressed that ‘a department store should be a social centre, not merely a place for shopping,’ and this could not be truer for Selfridges today.
With a vision to reinvent retail, we launched our sustainability strategy, Project Earth, in 2020, with a bold commitment to change the way we shop and the way we do business. Built on three themes – driving a transition to more sustainable materials, exploring new business models, and challenging the mindsets of our partners and customers as well as our own teams – Project Earth is underpinned by our science-based targets as we look to a net-zero future.
