  • About Humble Grape

We're more than a wine bar. We're a movement built on sustainable, story-driven wine, zero-waste dining and a genuine belief that great hospitality starts with great people.

Since 2009, we've built our business around passion, transparency and making wine approachable and inclusive for everyone.

We work closely with small, independent vineyards and focus on organic, biodynamic and sustainably produced wines. We're equally passionate about our food, prioritising seasonal ingredients and a commitment to zero-waste.

At Humble Grape, we want our teams to share the stories behind the wines, celebrate the people who make them and create exceptional experiences for our guests.

Ready to Step Up?

If you're an experienced hospitality professional who is ready to take the lead, develop your skills and be part of a team that genuinely cares about great wine and great service, we'd love to hear from you.

Come and grow with Humble Grape Canary Wharf.
