We’re looking for an experienced server with an interest in bartending to join the team at The Old Queen’s Head. This is a hybrid role working primarily on the floor, with regular shifts supporting the bar and opportunities to build confidence and skill behind it.
The Old Queen’s Head is one of London’s best-known pubs, operating as both a high-volume bar and a live performance venue. Alongside late-night trading with DJs and bands, the venue hosts private events and daytime food service, with Hot Saint serving NY-style pizza during the week and roasts on Sundays.
The role suits someone comfortable in busy services, confident with guests, and keen to develop their bar knowledge in a fast-paced environment.
