About PYRO A celebration of cooking over fire, PYRO is a bold, 95-cover restaurant in the heart of Borough from ex-HIDE Head Chef Yiannis Mexis. Showcasing refined Greek flavours, seasonal produce, and a laid-back taverna-style energy, PYRO is all about food to linger over and service that feels like home. With a large outdoor terrace, open-fire kitchen, and garden bar, we’re building a flagship team to help shape one of London’s most exciting new openings.

As the first and last point of contact, our Receptionist is the face of PYRO. You are the conductor of the dining room—managing the flow of the restaurant, welcoming guests to our garden bar, and ensuring every arrival feels like a homecoming. We need someone who can handle a fast-paced Borough service with grace, intelligence, and a genuine smile.
