Working at JKR is like joining a family. From day one, I have felt valued, supported, and genuinely cared for, not just as an employee but as an individual. Throughout my career, I have been searching for a place that truly cares and looks after its employees. I am blessed to have found that at JKR. Here, we celebrate each other’s successes, support one another during challenging times. This is more than just a job, it’s a place I am proud to call home.

When I received a handwritten postcard from Jeremy welcoming me to The Park, I knew I had taken the right job! Working with a great team of people, in a professional and fun environment and cooking great food makes the working day a blessing. Daily visits from Jeremy to the kitchen with a quick chat or a wink as he passes through make for a true gent who is a pleasure to work for.

I’ve worked with Mr King for 8 years now, from The Wolseley to The Park and it’s been a real pleasure. Always doing the rounds in the kitchen to check in and ask how we are. He knows every team member personally, regardless of their role. That, for me, is priceless! Here’s to many more years.

Having had the pleasure of working for Jeremy King since 1995, I can say that it has been an incredible journey. I followed him through almost every restaurant he has opened, learning, and growing along the way. He is the most influential restaurateur in the UK and a great inspiration worldwide. When you work for the best, there is nowhere else you’d rather be. I am truly grateful to be part of his vision and success.

Jeremy King introduced me to the art of being a Maitre D’ when he gave me my first job in 1999. Twenty-six years on and I am happy to say I am back with the King and honing my craft at Arlington, where they not only respect the art of what we do, they celebrate it. In this industry, if you want to be the best, you have to work with the best.

My incredibly joyful and fulfilling experience of working with Jeremy King began when I started as a waiter in Café Zédel. I quickly came to appreciate what a kind and respectful gentleman he is. As a member of the new generation in hospitality, I realise how rare it is to receive the kind of knowledge and mentorship I have been fortunate to gain. A key aspect I appreciate is Jeremy’s commitment to his staff. I’ve seen firsthand how he always prioritizes his staff and never allows anyone to mistreat us.

My transition from hospital work to hospitality has been seamless. Jeremy saw something in me and created a role new to Arlington. His endless patience is a godsend for someone as anxious as myself. He gives me a voice, which, as an older woman, is invaluable. Jeremy’s attentiveness and love for staff and customers alike inspire us to show respect, kindness, and courtesy to each other, each day. I cannot imagine committing to a role under anyone else — Jeremy remains my beacon of hope for hospitality.
