Head Waiter ‘Fine Dining Re – Imagined’ – The Residence 02

The Residence at the 02, will be the UK’s most exclusive Members Club at a Music Venue. With uninterrupted views from every seat, and the world's first retractable 'Walkway’ to take our members above the crowd. This will be without doubts a sensational place to work in.

The Residence will be fine dining re – imagined. With show stopping cocktails from one of the 2 main bar areas, theatrical food offerings in our restaurant, all delivered by exceptional people with exceptional service.

The restaurant will be the theatre that mirrors the performances on stage. Re - imagined fine dining means that the food speaks for itself, the theatre comes from the service delivered.
