This is a very exciting opportunity not to be missed for a talented Head of Bars eager to join a restaurant group with ambitious plans.

Sabor and Legado are seeking a Head of Bars to join their team. The successful candidate will be friendly, personable and passionate about all things food and drink. This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced Head of Bars looking for a new role in an award winning, critically acclaimed group.

Founded by Nieves Barragan, Sabor (meaning flavour in Spanish) takes you on a journey from the tapas bars of Andalucía, through to the asadors of Castile and the seafood restaurants of Galicia. Sabor focuses on capturing the flavour of Spain as well as showcasing the use of traditional ingredients and cooking methods, and a relaxed approach to dining. The quality of the produce our kitchen enjoys is unparalleled.

Upstairs in the Asador, whole suckling pigs are cooked in the wood-fired oven, and octopus are simmered in giant copper pots.Downstairs in the restaurant, a seafood counter sits next to dining bar, where guests can oversee the kitchen in full service.

Legado opened its doors in August 2025 in the heart of Shoreditch, with a clear purpose: to celebrate the breadth and depth of Spain's regional cooking. A sister restaurant to Sabor, Legado builds on that foundation while carving out its own identity - exploring lesser-known dishes and traditions from across Spain, guided by seasonality, whole-animal butchery and a deep respect for craft and provenance. From the Taberna - Legado's tapas and pintxos bar - to the main dining room, the restaurant is defined by thoughtful cooking, precise technique and warm, considered hospitality.

Founded by Chef Nieves Barragán Mohacho, Legado reflects a lifetime of experience rooted in Spanish culinary heritage. Nieves' cooking is shaped by memory, travel and a commitment to honouring the stories of each region.

Sabor was awarded a coveted Michelin Star in 2018, and just seven months after opening, Legado was also awarded a Michelin Star - a testament to the dedication, talent and collective ambition of the team.

JKS Restaurants was founded by siblings Jyotin, Karam, and Sunaina Sethi in November 2008. Since its inception, the group has received critical acclaim and industry recognition, including 7 Michelin stars, 4 Michelin Bib Gourmands, a restaurant ranked among the World's 100 Best Restaurants, and a spot in the Sunday Times Best 100 Places to Work 2024.

The JKS portfolio currently features Michelin-starred restaurants such as Trishna, Gymkhana, Kitchen Table, Sabor, and Lyle's, along with cult favourites Hoppers, BAO, Brigadiers, Berenjak, Plaza Khao Gaeng, Speedboat Bar, Bibi, and Ambassadors Clubhouse. Pubs include The Cadogan Arms, The George and The Hound.

JKS Restaurants offers a unique opportunity to pursue a career in fine dining or to develop within trend-focused casual cuisine, with opportunities across all disciplines for those looking to advance their careers within a people-focused, collaborative hospitality group.
