F&B Procurement Intern

Job Description:

6-9 month paid internship · Starting October 2026

Big Mamma Group is an Italian restaurant company founded in 2015 by Tigrane Seydoux and Victor Lugger, built around one simple idea: bring people together through great Italian food.
In the UK & Ireland, that idea now lives across nine trattorias in four cities - Gloria, Ave Mario, Circolo Popolare, Barbarella, Carlotta and Jacuzzi in London, Circolo Popolare in Manchester, La Bellezza in Birmingham, and Gloria in Dublin.
Every dish is made fully from scratch, every restaurant is a spectacle, and every guest leaves with a smile, all at a fair price.
