KOL

About KOL

KOL is the first restaurant from critically acclaimed chef patron Santiago Lastra, overlaying the techniques and heritage of Mexican cuisine with the landscape of Britain. Since opening in 2020, KOL has earned a Michelin Star and held its place on the World's 50 Best Restaurants list for three consecutive years, a reflection of a team that never settles for good enough.

From kitchen to floor, the KOL team brings curiosity, precision and attention to detail to everything we do, always looking for ways to be better than the day before. We look for people who share that drive and who want to be part of something genuinely best in class.

Workplace Culture

At KOL, we care deeply about what we do and how we do it. As a Michelin-starred restaurant, we work to KOL standards: high expectations, attention to detail and consistency in everything we deliver. And we're just as focused on creating a place where people feel supported and love to work.

It's a team environment where people work closely together, take pride in their role and look out for each other. The pace is fast and the standards are high, but there's a real sense of trust, warmth and shared purpose in how we show up every day.

We work a four-day week, and we make sure the team feels genuinely looked after. That means family meal every day, recognition through our Legend of the Month programme, discounts across all MJMK restaurants, extra holiday after your first year, and access to Hospitality Action's Employee Assistance Programme when you need it.

It's a place where you can grow, build confidence and be part of something genuinely special.
