We’re looking for a Kitchen Porter to join the team at The Parakeet.
Located in the heart of Kentish Town, The Parakeet is an independent public house and dining room. In the front, a lively neighbourhood pub. In the back, an award-winning dining room serving Basque-inspired small plates cooked over coal and fire. Led by chef Ben Allen, the kitchen has received critical acclaim from The Times, The Evening Standard, and more.
This is a kitchen that cares about quality, detail and doing things properly. And none of it works without a strong Kitchen Porter team.
As a Kitchen Porter, you’ll keep the kitchen moving. Clean, organised and ready for service at all times. You’ll support the chefs, manage the wash‑up, and make sure everything is where it needs to be.

- A structured, well‑run kitchen that values every role
- A team that works together and supports each other
