Levan is an independent neighbourhood restaurant and wine bar in Peckham, inspired by the bistros of Paris and wider Europe. We cook seasonal, produce-led food designed to sit alongside a thoughtful low-intervention wine list, with music and hospitality playing just as important a role in the experience as the food itself.

We’re a small and close-knit team, so attitude, care and consistency matter as much as technical ability. We’re looking for someone who enjoys working collaboratively, takes pride in their section, and wants to develop within an ambitious independent restaurant.

If you’d like to be part of the team, please send your CV and a short covering note telling us a bit about yourself and why you’d like to work with us to [email protected].
