Plaza Khao Gaeng Covent Garden are seeking a Bartender to join their team. The successful candidate will be friendly, personable and passionate about all things food and drink.
This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced Bartender looking for a new role in an award winning, critically acclaimed group.
The Restaurant Plaza Khao Gaeng celebrates Thailands coast-to-jungle cooking through the tradition of khao gaeng, broadly translated as curry over rice. Expect a kaleidoscope of curries rich with fresh coconut milk, aromatic curry pastes and fermented seasonings, alongside searingly hot stir-fries cooled with fresh herbs - all designed for mixing, matching and sharing.
In Thailand, the most popular khao gaeng restaurants expand to fill whatever space they can. Plaza takes inspiration from one such spot in Bangkok, now spread through an old cinema, where curries sit in gleaming trays beneath a faded faade and climb the stairs to the former box office. This is anytime comfort food: a pause from the heat, noise and movement of the street outside.
Our third Plaza Khao Gaeng opened in Covent Garden in May, turning to Thailands deep south - the historic borderlands of Pattani, Yala, Narathiwat and beyond. Anchored by a large charcoal grill, the menu draws together smoke, spice and acidity in a generous, khao gaeng-style spread made for the table - our most Southern menu yet, inspired by rural kitchens.
The Position The right Bartender will be passionate and knowledgeable about beers, whisky and cocktails, and have a good background in high volume restaurants and bars, whilst delivering exceptional guest experiences with personality and flair.
