who we are.

It all started when…

Laura met Kiki working at Jamie Oliver's Fifteen, way back in 2007, and built a friendship over a mutual love of food and wine.

Since then we’ve been on a mission to make wine accessible, believing that when it comes to wine, it should be a conversation that everyone can join in with.

After hosting pop ups under the A Grape Night In name between 2010-2014, Unwined was born in 2015 when we opened our first wine bar in Tooting, with our second site in Waterloo following shortly after in 2018. They’re a home away from home, a place where we open wines that we love and share with our community of wine lovers. 

In 2020, the year we all lived online, we went virtual and alongside our online tastings we launched Unwined at Yours with a series of experience kits and tasting cases. In a nutshell these bring the experience, knowledge and taste of our bars to your living room – wine wisdom unpacked you could say.

So what’s our wine taste, and will you like it? When it comes to the wines we select and buy, we ask one question. Does it offer value? If the answer is yes, and it’s delicious and even better, sustainably made - then it makes the cut for Unwined.

Unwined Bars has an exciting opportunity for a talented, creative & organised chef to work in our Waterloo kitchen team.

This role will suit someone who enjoys working in a small team and is keen to learn and support our Head Chef. At Unwined the kitchen and front of house teams work closely together and there will be opportunity to learn about day-to-day operations of a restaurant/bar, menu development and wine pairings.

Ideally you will have solid experience as a Chef de Partie, and ready to take your next step. The role will include responsibilities of food preparation, knife skills, maintaining food safety and hygiene standards and working in an a la carte service style.

Team and individual development are core beliefs for Unwined. We believe hospitality can be a rewarding and exciting industry, and we strive to do better for our employees than historic norms; we value work/life balance, foster mutual respect, encourage open communication, and nurture creativity and engagement.

Unwined’s aim is to take the snobbery out of wine and make it more accessible. Our focus is on wine, but the food offering plays a big role at Unwined in Waterloo. The food menus change every 2 months, with dishes created to pair with the current wine list, rather than the traditional way of the wine paired to the food. We have a structure for the menu and inspiration for flavours which will help guide your menu development.
