We have an opportunity for an Assistant General Manager to join the team at The Parakeet, our neighbourhood pub and dining room in the heart of Kentish Town.
Loved by locals and known across London, The Parakeet blends the warmth of a classic pub with a restaurant built around Basque inspired small plates cooked over fire and coal. The menu is bold, seasonal and shaped by open flame, with dishes that have earned the kitchen serious acclaim. Since opening in 2023, The Parakeet has become one of the citys most talked about dining rooms, backed by a loyal community and a kitchen led by Chef Ben Allen. We are now looking for an enthusiastic and experienced AGM to help us keep standards high and the experience memorable.
