  • An understanding of balancing quality with profitability
  • The desire to be part of a growing, community-focused venue

Why Join Us

  • A chance to put your stamp on a new food concept in a respected local pub
  • Supportive ownership and management who value creativity and balance
  • Competitive pay, bonus potential, and a healthy work-life culture
  • Opportunities for future growth within an evolving business

If you're ready to bring your passion and ideas to one of South East London's best-loved pubs, we'd love to hear from you.
