Dishoom is proud to be recognised as one of the best places to work in hospitality. Looking after people is at the core of what we do, and we work hard to make life at Dishoom the best it can be. Our view is that it’s part of human nature to care about making people happy. We all care about this deeply. We call this Seva. Seva means having a big, warm heart. Seva means we don’t just serve people, we take them in and look after them to the very best of our ability – guests and team alike. Alongside running busy sites with large teams, we also believe in doing more. Each year, we pledge to plant a tree for every Dishoom-walle, continue to break down barriers through our cultural events, and support children through our Meal for a Meal initiative. As of this year, we have donated 30 million meals (and counting) to children in the UK and India, with every Dishoomwalle contributing 55 meals per shift to this cause. Since 2010, our cafés have celebrated all of the food and drink of Bombay. We currently have cafés across London, Edinburgh, Manchester, Birmingham, Glasgow and soon to be Leeds! Our cafés are bustling spaces where people come together to break down barriers and share in a love of Bombay food and culture. We have Permit Rooms in Brighton, Cambridge, Oxford, Portobello Road London and Liverpool. Our bar-cafés are lively spaces, woven into the fabric of their local communities. Our genuine love of people means you’ll always be welcomed with real warmth.

Our mission at Flat Iron is to make remarkable steak accessible to all. Not just that, we also try to look after all our guests as if they were old friends. Everyone is welcome. To do that, we have an amazing team of great people who love what they do and love working at Flat Iron. So much so, that for three years in a row we have been voted one of the UK’s Top 100 Best Companies to work for. We have won many other awards but being listed as one of the best employers in the country is something we are incredibly proud of. Our team is everything. If we select an amazing bunch of people, give them the training and the tools they need, then try to make Flat Iron the best place they have ever worked, we can’t go too far wrong. We are always looking for great people to join the Flat Iron family. We want people who are honest, decent and straightforward with each other and with our guests; passionate people who really care and know how to make our guests feel welcomed; people with an indie spirit who always want to make things better.

About Petersham Nurseries Petersham Nurseries, a local garden centre, was carved out of the Petersham House grounds in the 1970s. Shortly before the turn of the century, the business was bought by Gael and Francesco Boglione who have, with their family, lived in the adjoining Petersham House in Richmond since 1997. After extensive restoration works, the nurseries reopened in 2004, completely transformed. Today visitors are invited to dine in the greenhouse restaurant (Petersham Nurseries Café), browse plants in the Nursery, find antiques and gifts in the Shop, or sit, wander and enjoy seasonal food and homemade cakes in the Teahouse. In April 2018, the team opened Petersham Nurseries Covent Garden, which captures the unique spirit and rare beauty of its original home in Richmond and brings nature and elegance to the heart of central London. Comprising of The Petersham, La Goccia, La Goccia Bar, A Delicatessen and Wine Cellar - that provides an unparalleled lifestyle destination. Petersham Nurseries Covent Garden occupies 16,000 sq.ft, including a central courtyard, Floral Court. True to the horticultural origins of the family business and the heritage of Covent Garden’s past, there could not be a more fitting location for this venture into central London. Whilst maintaining their passion for simplicity, flora, and responsibly sourced produce, Petersham Nurseries have created an unrivalled setting within this urban environment.
