Job Description

AngloThai opened on Seymour Place in Marylebone in 2024. It is the first permanent home of husband-and-wife team John and Desiree Chantarasak. John draws on both sides of his Thai and British heritage, and on a decade spent at Som Saa in London and Nahm in Bangkok, to reimagine Thai flavours through hyper-seasonal British produce. Desiree leads the wine programme. It is built on her relationships with small-batch, sustainably focused producers across Europe, with many bottles celebrating a new generation of exciting growers. Service runs across our 50-cover dining room and Baan, our 16-cover private dining room. We’re looking for a Sommelier to join the wine team at AngloThai.

This role exists to make wine a highlight of every guest’s visit and to help the whole front of house team talk about and sell wine with confidence.

At AngloThai, people are at the heart of everything we do. Our team are curious and creative, and they always want the guest experience to be memorable. We want service to be approachable, fun and consistent while always meeting high standards. If you’re looking to learn, grow and work alongside John, Desiree and our Head Sommelier, we’d love to hear from you.

This is a hands-on, guest-facing role reporting to the Head Sommelier.

Key Responsibilities

Deliver best-in-class wine service across lunch, dinner and private events in Baan.
Support the Head Sommelier in maintaining and updating the wine list.
Train, inspire and empower the front of house team to pair and sell wine with confidence.
Build and maintain relationships with our wine suppliers.
Look after wine ordering and cellar management alongside the Head Sommelier.
Assist with wine inventory, stock counts and stock management.
Build rapport with regular guests, experienced wine drinkers and high-profile guests.
Champion AngloThai’s focus on well-crafted, ethically minded and delicious wines.

About MJMK Restaurants

MJMK Restaurants owns and operates a collection of award-winning restaurants. Founded in 2018 by lifelong friends Jake Kasumov and Marco Mendes, our journey began with Casa do Frango.

In 2020, we partnered with chef patron Santiago Lastra to open KOL, a restaurant in Marylebone celebrating Mexican cuisine with British ingredients. KOL has since earned a Michelin star and been named one of the World’s 50 Best Restaurants.

2024 saw two new ventures: Fonda, a contemporary Mexican concept in Mayfair, our second collaboration with Santiago Lastra, and AngloThai in Marylebone, a debut restaurant from husband-and-wife John and Desiree Chantarasak, blending Thai flavours with British ingredients. Within three months of opening, AngloThai earned a Michelin star.

In the 2025 National Restaurant Awards, AngloThai was named The Square Opening of the Year and ranked 7th in the Top 100 list, followed by KOL at number 50. Luso, a contemporary Portuguese restaurant in Fitzrovia, opened in September 2025.

We’re building ambitious restaurant brands with a focus on quality, creativity and guest experience, and we’re just getting started.
