Where Classic British Charm Meets Modern Sophistication

Right in the heart of Canary Wharf, The Rocket combines the warmth of traditional British hospitality with a contemporary, upscale twist. Part of The Chapter Collection, it’s a destination that exudes quality and class—serving up unforgettable experiences from the first sip of champagne to the last bite of a perfectly crafted meal.

What Makes The Rocket Special?
We’re all about creating moments that matter. Our bar has fresh, handcrafted cocktails, premium wines, and the finest champagnes. And our “Premium” menu? It’s a celebration of classic British cuisine done with a touch of luxury that keeps guests coming back.

The venue itself spans two stunning floors:

The Ground Floor: A lively, social space perfect for casual lunches, afternoon drinks, or a relaxed working lunch. Think London pub offering a welcoming vibe to the office workers and bankers that are amongst our very loyal guest base.

Upstairs: This is where the magic happens. A full-service dining experience awaits, with flexible spaces that can also host business meetings, corporate gatherings, or office celebrations. Plus, the grand external balcony is a real showstopper, offering space for 60 guests to enjoy alfresco elegance.

Our Area Manager, Steve Welsh, is on the lookout for a standout General Manager to take The Rocket to the next level. Here’s what we’re looking for:

• Someone with experience running a fresh food-focused business.
• A pro at managing large bookings, whether it’s lively parties or sophisticated sit-down dinners.
• A natural leader who knows how to train, develop and inspire a team to deliver exceptional service every time.

As General Manager, you’ll be driving sales by building a busy diary of pre-booked events, networking with local businesses, and giving people every reason to choose The Rocket for their next big moment.

Please Note: To be eligible to apply, you MUST hold a valid Personal Licence.
