General Manager

Delamina EAST is where our story began.

Originally launched as a residency at Shoreditch House, Delamina EAST became our first permanent restaurant and remains the heart of the brand. We are proud to hold a 4\.6★ TripAdvisor rating and Travellers’ Choice 2025, built on consistency, genuine hospitality, and a strong people\-led culture.

Our food reflects our Eastern Mediterranean heritage. We cook the way we grew up eating — grilling and roasting fresh, seasonal ingredients, full of goodness and flavour. The menu is naturally healthy, with excellent vegan and vegetarian options, ethically sourced produce, a strong cocktail list, and a busy weekend brunch alongside consistently strong weekday trade.

What We’re Looking For

• Strong people management and leadership skills


• Solid understanding of P\&L, rotas, and stock control


• Service\-first mindset — calm, visible, and decisive


• Comfortable in a fast\-paced, hands\-on environment


• Pride in standards, team culture, and hospitality
