Waiter/Waitress
SMOKESTAK
SMOKESTAK is a London-based barbecue restaurant with a focus on slow smoked meats, inspired by the founder’s Barbadian roots around open fire grilling, and honed by a pilgrimage around the southern states of America.
Originally starting out as a street food trader, SMOKESTAK has evolved into a thriving restaurant with slow cooked meats on a wood fire smoker at its core. Since its founding over 10 years ago, SMOKESTAK has grown into a staple in the London food scene. Its brick-and-mortar site in Shoreditch remains unique in its offering, aesthetic, and vibe: bold, moody, memorable. Wholly SMOKESTAK’s own.
We are proud to be an independent business with the founder, David Carter, coming from an entirely hospitality led background. We invite all to sit at the table with us. We promote a culture of learning and development, encouraging independent thinkers.

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
