Be Part of Something Extraordinary

This November, Corinthia London will open the doors to a brand-new chapter in its culinary story: Mezzogiorno by Francesco Mazzei. Led by one of Italy's most celebrated chefs, the restaurant will showcase soulful, authentic southern Italian cooking in one of London's most iconic five-star hotels.

Set within the grand, light-filled former Northall restaurant, this spectacular new space will bring the warmth and generosity of southern Italy to the heart of Westminster. Inspired by the Baroque palazzos of the South, with soaring ceilings, elegant design, and a menu inspired by Francesco's Calabrian roots, Mezzogiorno will be a soulful space, celebrating the true spirit of Italian dining: bold flavours, seasonal produce, and a passion for bringing people together around the table. From rustic pasta dishes to refined classics reimagined with flair, every plate will embody Francesco's philosophy of "Mamma's cooking with chef's hands."

We are building a team that will bring this vision to life – passionate, curious, and energetic individuals who thrive in the excitement of hospitality at its very best.

At Mezzogiorno, you'll be part of a dynamic environment where tradition meets innovation, and where every detail matters, from the warmest welcome to the final touch on the plate. This is more than just a job: it's the chance to learn, grow, and make your mark alongside Francesco Mazzei and Corinthia London's world-class team of chefs, bartenders, and hospitality leaders.

Whether your ambition is to master the art of Italian hospitality, refine your craft in the kitchen, or grow into leadership, this is an opportunity to join a restaurant that will set the standard for excellence in London's dining scene, welcoming guests with genuine warmth, creating dishes full of soul, and ensuring every detail is flawless.

At Mezzogiorno, you'll discover mentorship, growth, and the chance to work at the heart of a five-star hotel that sets the standard for excellence. If you're ready to be part of a story that celebrates passion, creativity, and the joy of true Italian food and service, we'd love to hear from you.

The Sloane Club is a private members' club located in Chelsea with a membership base of c. 2,700. The Club began in 1922 as a residence for ladies in the armed forces, welcoming gentlemen, civilian ladies and families in 1976, celebrating its traditional British heritage.

The Club offers Members access to bedrooms, food & beverage, event spaces, a workspace, meeting rooms and opportunities to engage with other Members through an events calendar. The clientele is older, price sensitive and predominantly using the Club to access discounted bedroom rates.

In 2017, The Sloane Club was acquired by Queensway together with Clearbell with a view to significantly changing the brand, member demographic and experience and becoming one of London's leading private members clubs and a scalable lifestyle brand.

Our research has shown us there is a clear gap in the market for a club in Chelsea that honours all the component parts of an individual's life and facilitates the convergent lifestyle.

A major redevelopment is currently underway, with the first phase due to complete in March 2025. The business is remaining operational throughout the redevelopment. The Club upgrade includes a full renovation of the interiors as well as the introduction of improved facilities such as a wellness offering, private meeting and events spaces, workspace, refurbished bedrooms and enhanced restaurants and bars including a roof terrace and retail unit. The renovations are being carried out under the creative direction of Russell Sage Studio.

We believe that after we have made an investment in upgrading the experience, we will have the power to significantly drive subscriptions, rooms and F&B revenue from Members and non-members across The Sloane Club and Sloane Place boutique hotel.

The Sloane Place F&B outlet has c.60 covers and a small basement bar. Serviced from the same kitchen as the Club, we believe Sloane Place can become a popular neighbourhood restaurant for Members, locals and visitors alike.
