Job Description

Welcome to

The Talbot, Brockley

a proudly independent, food led pub at the heart of one of South East London's best neighbourhoods.


We're known for

proper, generous cooking

, a buzzing atmosphere, and warm, confident hospitality. From lively weekend services and brilliant Sunday roasts to seasonal specials, guest focused events, and Taquria summer days in our tipi covered garden and cabins, everything we do is built on thoughtful details, strong standards, and doing the basics brilliantly every single time.


The Talbot is as much a local as it is a destination. We work closely with brilliant suppliers and makers, celebrate seasonality, and keep our menus exciting while staying disciplined on consistency, pace, and quality. Behind the scenes, we're a team that cares about craft, training, and getting better week by week.


If you love hospitality, enjoy being part of a team that holds itself to high standards, and take real pride in creating memorable moments for guests, we would love to meet you.
