Open vacancy. Delaware North UK is recruiting for Culinary Opportunities at London Stadium in Stratford. Apply on Delaware North’s careers site — West Ham United’s direct club vacancies are listed separately.
London Stadium is West Ham’s home but also hosts Diamond League athletics, MLB London Series and major summer concerts. Delaware North runs premium and production kitchen teams across that mixed calendar, so culinary casuals see both football and non-football event rhythms.
What the role involves
- Prep, production and service support in stadium kitchens and hospitality back-of-house.
- Working to event briefs for football, baseball and concert configurations.
- Food-hygiene compliance, stock rotation and clean-down after events.
- Supporting chefs and supervisors during peak service windows.
Who usually gets hired
- Catering or kitchen experience — commis, KP or line-cook background is enough for many casual slots.
- 18+ for most kitchen roles.
- Right to work in the UK.
- Available for evenings, weekends and bank-holiday events at Stratford (Jubilee/Central/Elizabeth lines).
Pay and contract
- Band £12.50–£16.00/hour depending on role level — confirm exact rate on the live Delaware North advert.
- Casual/event contracts tied to the stadium calendar rather than a fixed weekly rota.
- Strong casuals are often retained across the football season and summer concert run.
Stadium Jobs tip
Search Delaware North for “London Stadium” not “West Ham” — the hiring employer on this contract is Delaware North, not the club. Stratford station is workable from most of east and central London; allow extra time on MLB and concert nights when Olympic Park crowds overlap with football arrivals.
