Job description

Chef De Partie

Welcome to Enderby House, a charming and historic pub nestled in the heart of Greenwich! Our vision for Enderby House is to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere that celebrates the pub's rich history while also offering a modern and comfortable experience for our patrons.

As you step into the pub, you'll be transported back in time to the 19th century, when Enderby House served as a ship chandler's office and a warehouse for the famous Enderby Brothers Whaling Company. The walls are adorned with vintage maps, nautical artifacts, and photographs that tell the story of the pub's maritime heritage.

But we're not stuck in the past - we've also updated the space with contemporary touches to create a cozy and inviting ambiance. The furniture is a mix of comfortable sofas, armchairs, and high-top tables, creating a casual yet elegant vibe. We've also installed a fireplace to add warmth and coziness during colder months.

Our bar boasts an impressive selection of beers, wines, and spirits, including local craft beers and classic cocktails. We take pride in sourcing high-quality ingredients for our food menu, which features classic pub fare with a modern twist. From fish and chips to steak and ale pie, our dishes are prepared with care and attention to detail.

In the summer, we invite you to enjoy our spacious outdoor terrace, where you can soak up the sun while sipping on a cold drink and taking in the stunning views of the Thames River. And if you're looking to host a private event, our upstairs dining room can accommodate up to 50 guests for a seated dinner or 70 for a standing reception.

At Enderby House, we're committed to providing a memorable experience for our patrons, whether you're stopping in for a quick pint or settling in for a long evening with friends. We look forward to welcoming you to our pub and sharing our love for good food, great drinks, and rich history.
