Job description

ELEPHANT & CASTLE PUB AND RESTAURANT
Welcome to Elephant & Castle, a Brit-ish pub with modern, across-the-pond twists. We have a rousing mashup of old-world charm and North American flavours. E&C is a cozy, convivial place to grab a hearty bite, watch some football, and have a smashing good time. The welcome mat is always out, the local crew is always in, and the bash is always on. Our pub is brought to life by our team; we banter with our tables and each other.

At E&C, we work hard to create an environment that is always quaint but never quiet. With hearty meals and football matches on the telly, even newcomers feel like they’re at home. Our family of companies includes Original Joe’s Restaurant & Bar, State & Main Kitchen + Bar, Añejo Restaurant and Blanco Cantina. We offer competitive wages, a comfortable work environment, flexible hours, benefit packages (for those who qualify), investment opportunities, and a chance to grow right alongside us!
