Bar Tender Positions at the Good Oak

The Good Oak is a modern Italian tavern, and first floor cocktail lounge rooted in Notting Hill community spirit.

The Good Oak (formally known as “The Oak”) has been part of the local scene for years, and it’s now entering an exciting new chapter under new ownership. We’re currently giving the place a fresh new look and feel.

Soon, it’ll reopen as a modern tavern with a laid-back vibe, serving up amazing Italian food and pizzas. Downstairs, you’ll find a buzzing Italian tavern with wood-fired pizza and hearty hospitality, upstairs an intimate cocktail lounge with curated music and late-night energy.

We’ve got some brilliant staff staying on with us, and we’re growing the team too. Everyone will get full training before we open – plus a chance to try out the new menu and drinks (tough job, we know).

If you’re all about great service, thrive in a buzzing atmosphere, and love working with a fun, energetic crew – we’d love to hear from you.
