About the Role
We’re looking for a Bartender 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 warm, charismatic and full of energy who loves the buzz of nightlife and knows how to make guests feel welcome at the bar. If you enjoy music, busy rooms and the atmosphere of a proper late-night pub, you’ll feel right at home here.
