About us
Our founding principle is simple: to create the best possible pub company to work in.
We believe that looking after our people and creating a great place to work is at the heart of everything we do.
Today, we're a collection of 21 independent pubs, bars, restaurants and hotels across London and the South-East.
Each has its own personality, team and community, supported by a central team that works closely with our venues to help the business run smoothly and successfully.
Honesty, Integrity and Fairness guide how we work, how we treat our teams and how we build relationships with our suppliers and customers.
We're proudly independent, passionate about hospitality and believe that great support behind the scenes is just as important as what happens in our pubs and bars.

Working closely with our Head of Finance, you'll play an important role in supporting our General Managers and venue teams, helping with day-to-day finance queries and making sure our financial processes run smoothly.
This is a varied, hands-on role where accuracy and attention to detail are important, but so is being approachable, confident and happy to pick up the phone to get things sorted.
You'll work closely with suppliers, pub teams and our outsourced finance provider, helping to keep everything on track.
You'll be joining a small team where you can take ownership of your work, develop your skills and gain a real understanding of how a growing hospitality business operates.

- Processing invoices, payments and supplier account queries.
- Producing finance reports and spreadsheets covering creditors, debtors, cash and costs.
- Managing company credit cards and staff expenses, checking receipts, approvals and coding.
- Supporting payroll administration, compliance, document management and year-end audit.
- Working with our outsourced finance provider and supporting our Head of Finance and venue teams with day-to-day queries.
What we're looking for
- 1–2 years' experience in a Finance or Accounts Assistant role.
- Confident Excel skills, including lookups and pivot tables.
- Strong attention to detail and excellent organisational skills.
- A confident communicator who is comfortable working with suppliers and our pub teams.
- Someone reliable, proactive and happy to take responsibility for their work.
Hospitality, retail or leisure experience would be an advantage.
What we offer
- The package
- £30,000–£35,000, depending on experience.
- Monday to Friday, 9am–5.30pm.
- Hybrid working, with 3–4 days in our London office and 1–2 days working remotely.
- The benefits
- Study support towards AAT, CIMA or ACCA qualifications.
- Employer pension contributions.
- Generous food and drink discounts across our pubs and bars.
- 25 days' annual leave plus bank holidays.
- Music, tasting events and parties.
If you're organised, enjoy working with people and want to be part of a business where your contribution really matters, we'd love to hear from you.
