Food & Lifestyle Editor/Creator

Do you live and breathe London’s food and lifestyle scene? Always know about the new opening everyone’s talking about, the restaurant worth queuing for or the chef about to become the next big name?

I’m working with a growing digital lifestyle publisher looking for a Food & Lifestyle Writer / Creator to join their editorial team.

This is a genuinely varied role combining editorial journalism with social content creation. You’ll be writing engaging food and lifestyle content while also getting out across London to discover, review and create content around some of the city’s most exciting restaurants, venues and experiences.

It’s ideal for a journalist or content creator who is just as comfortable writing a brilliant restaurant review as they are getting behind – or in front of – the camera.

What you’ll be doing

• Write engaging food, restaurant and lifestyle content across digital channels

• Create restaurant reviews, features, guides, news pieces and SEO-led editorial content

• Get out across London to review restaurants, attend openings and discover new venues

• Conceptualise, film and edit engaging short-form video content for Instagram and TikTok

• Interview chefs and other personalities within the food and hospitality space

• Create content across both editorial and commercial briefs

• Build relationships with restaurants, venues and hospitality contacts

• Spot emerging food, drink and lifestyle trends and turn them into timely content

• Attend launches, tastings and industry events

• Work across written and social content, ensuring stories translate effectively across different platforms

What we’re looking for

• Experience within digital journalism, editorial, publishing or content creation

• A genuine passion for London’s food, restaurant and lifestyle scene

• Strong writing skills and experience producing engaging digital content

• Experience creating short-form social video, particularly for Instagram Reels and TikTok

• Confidence on camera and ideally experience interviewing or presenting

• A good understanding of what makes social content engaging and shareable

• An eye for emerging restaurants, openings and wider lifestyle trends

• Experience with mobile video editing tools such as CapCut, Premiere Pro or similar

• An understanding of SEO and digital publishing

• Strong organisation and time management skills, with the ability to juggle written, social and commercial deadlines

The opportunity

This is a great opportunity for someone who doesn’t want to choose between journalism and content creation.

You’ll have the chance to write, review, interview, film, edit and get out into London’s food and lifestyle scene – creating content that reaches audiences across both editorial and social channels.
