Job description

We’re looking for a Barback to join the team at The Old Queen’s Head.

The Old Queen’s Head is an award-winning North London pub that moves between great food, proper pints and late nights. We serve one of the area’s most popular Sunday roasts, we’ve recently launched our in-house pizza concept Hot Saint, and our club room hosts DJs and late-night parties throughout the week.

It’s a pub with a lot going on. Great drinks, good music and a lively crowd. We’re looking for someone hardworking, positive and full of energy who enjoys the buzz of nightlife and wants to be part of a fast-moving bar team. If you like busy rooms, good music and being part of the action, you’ll feel right at home here.
