Antidote Hospitality is born from a shared passion for the hospitality industry.

Location: Oma – Borough Market 🍽️

We recently visited Oma in Borough Market and it’s still every bit as good as when we first went shortly after it opened.

What stood out wasn’t just the food (even though it’s seriously good!) - it was the energy.

• Tight, confident service
• Clearly well-trained team
• No chaos, even at peak

You can always tell when the foundations are right.

This is a team built properly - by operators who understand exactly how to get it right.

Building a hospitality business is exciting 𓌉◯𓇋

Getting the HR foundations right? Less glamorous… but absolutely critical.

We’re seeing more operators scaling quickly without the right HR compliance in place - and it always catches up.

From contracts and handbooks to right to work checks, policies, onboarding, payroll alignment and everything in between… the detail matters.

Done properly, it doesn’t just protect the business — it:

• Creates consistency ✅
• Improves team retention ✅
• Builds a stronger culture ✅
• Gives leaders confidence to grow ✅

At Antidote Hospitality, we support operators with both recruitment and the HR infrastructure behind it - whether that’s a full setup for a new opening or tightening up what’s already in place.

Practical, hands-on, and built for hospitality.

If you’re growing and not 100% confident your HR compliance is where it should be, it’s probably time to take a look.

Please reach out to Scott Williamson or James Watson.

On top of all the other great roles we’re working on, we’re currently hiring for a couple of next-level opportunities in London:

• General Manager – French Bistro – North London – £70k
• Sous Chef – Brand New Field to Fork Operation – South London – £45k+

These are foundational leadership roles - responsible for shaping teams, setting standards, and building culture from the ground up.

We’re working closely with both operations at an early stage, helping define structure, expectations, and the profile required for long-term success.

So this isn’t just recruitment - we’re actively involved in shaping these roles.

Consultant Spotlight (Kitchen Operations Fix) – Shane Pearson👨‍🍳

Success in Action | Client Story

A recent client came to us with a challenge we see too often in hospitality:

❌ High turnover of chefs
❌ Low morale within the kitchen
❌ Inconsistent standards and pressure on the wider business

This wasn’t just a recruitment issue — it was an operational one.

What we did:

We embedded one of our consultants into the business to take a hands-on approach.

✔️ Realigned kitchen structure and expectations
✔️ Delivered targeted training to improve skill and consistency
✔️ Implemented stronger systems and processes across the operation
✔️ Led the search and placement of a new Head Chef aligned with the business vision

The result:

✔️ Stronger, more cohesive team dynamic
✔️ More engaged and motivated kitchen team
✔️ Clearer onboarding process for new starters
✔️ A stable foundation built for long-term success

This is where real change happens — not just hiring, but transforming how a team operates.

If your kitchen feels stuck in a cycle of churn, there is a better way.

📩 Let’s talk about how we can support.

What’s Actually Happening in Hospitality?

There’s a lot of noise in the market right now.

But on the ground? It’s simple:

• Strong operators are still busy
• Weak structure is being exposed
• Great teams are more important than ever

We’re currently working with businesses not just to hire - but to stabilise, restructure, and rebuild confidence inside teams.

Recruitment is only one part of the process. The real focus is long-term strength and sustainability.

We don’t just work in the hospitality sector. We live it!!

Good evening all! We’re in need of a high quality, ideally fish focused sous or head chef. This is an incredible opportunity for a passionate and driven chef to get involved with a truly unique opportunity. Currently 4 days a week and no evenings. Simple,
high volume, yet high quality.

I’ve not seen many operations that can beat this level of freshness! (The produce comes straight from the boat to you. 100 yards max.) Amazing growth potential with a new restaurant and events space coming soon.

Massive opportunity for the right person to really put their own stamp on this already established and successful operation. £45k+ bonuses.

SE area.

Immediate start.

Referral fees paid on successful placement of any introduction within a 6 month period.
