The Fox & Anchor, a busy Hotel Pub situated in Barbican. The best place for a business lunch, evening meal after work or the perfect roast on a Sunday! We'd love to have you join the team.

We're a busy pub in Farringdon with six boutique bedrooms. We've been filling bellies with great food & drinks for over two centuries - so it's safe to say we've been around a while.

Harking back to our history of being the go-to spot for Smithfield market traders, our current kitchen team love to showcase the best of locally sourced produce. Although we are traditional at heart, innovation is encouraged, and celebrated in our chef team.

Think prime cuts and provenance; pork T bone, venison steak, and hefty sharing cuts of Côte de boeuf - alongside pub classics, lighter, fish-focussed dishes, and multicoloured vegetarian delights. Our atmospheric pub is at the beating heart of London, and we are blessed by passing footfall, celebrations & events, plus we're open from morning cuppa 'til nightcap.

We're a tight-knit team, supporting one another through the trials & tribulations of pub life. Hard work, good fun, reliability, and many cups of coffee make our world go round.

If you have good experience (perhaps not quite as much as us) plus share our passion for creating spectacular dishes, then Landlord Marc & the team would love to hear from you.

• Access to our CDP - Sous Chef development programme and beyond: The majority of our Head Chef appointments are internal.
• Access to our Apprenticeship Scheme - Gain a nationally recognised qualification while you work.
• Access to our Culinary Masterclasses to sharpen your skills.
• 20% discount in all Young's Pubs and 30% discount on overnight stays in our Pubs with Rooms
• Free meals
• Weekly pay
• Sharesave Scheme
• Company Pension Scheme
• 28 Days holiday per year
