Plaquemine Lock is a Michelin Bib gastropub on Regent’s Canal in Angel, Islington – serving up the bold, smoky, soulful flavours of Louisiana. Our menu blends Cajun and Creole classics with British produce, all cooked to a high standard in a relaxed setting often completed with live music. We are a food-focused business owned by Jacob Kenedy (Bocca di Lupo) and have consistently won a Bib Gourmand since 2018. We make as much in house as we can - from bread to sausages to mustard.
We require a sous capable of quickly mastering all sections and running a shift. You must be incredibly food-focused with a passion to use quality ingredients and proper methods. We are particularly looking for someone with knowledge and experience of systems, structure and compliance. This is not a kitchen that takes short cuts, but it's a great position in a close-knit team in a rapidly growing business.
