For people who give a shit about hospitality.
The Standard
Faith In Strangers is a seaview cultural venue in Margate. Bar, restaurant, events and coworking, all under one roof and held to one standard.
We've hosted Horse Meat Disco, Mr Scruff, Joy Orbison. We've built a custom sound system from scratch. None of it happens without the right people.
We hire for instinct, composure, and the ability to read a room. If that sounds like you, keep scrolling.

Getting here
20-minute seafront walk from Margate station
Why Here
Most hospitality jobs put you in one box. Here, the same seaview building is a 300-capacity live venue, a produce-led restaurant, a proper cocktail bar, plus a coworking space full of regulars by day.
One shift you're serving sunset dinners over the water; the next you're working the floor for a sold-out show on the Poseidon Sound System, our custom-built audiophile rig. You'll learn more here in a season than most places teach in a year.

Jackson Berg
The Kitchen
Our kitchen is led by Head Chef Jackson Berg, who's cooked at St. John Bread & Wine, Quality Chop House and Bistrotheque. Seasonal, produce-led modern British: snacks and small plates through to generous, shareable mains, plus Steak Frites Thursdays and the Sunday Roast.
Whether you're on the pass or on the floor, you're part of something people book weeks ahead for. Great service starts with food worth serving.




Golden hour
