Chef de Partie
Sydenham Hill
About Us:
Located in leafy Dulwich up on Sydenham Hill, the Wood House is the perfect rural escape in busy, urban South East London. We are a beautiful cosy pub that is famous for our Sunday roast large beer garden and open roaring fires during the winter. We have also just had a canopy installed in our beautiful beer garden which covers half the space. This has provided us with an exciting new space for our customers to enjoy all the way through the winter. The Wood House is one of the select pubs within Young’s that has its own Burger Shack, which sells a delicious selection of burgers to our garden users. Within the pub we host to multiple unique spaces which have been created for people to enjoy, each celebrating the fact that the Wood House was once the home of Joseph Paxton, the esteemed architect of The Crystal Palace. In particular our gorgeous conservatory space which overlooks the garden is one of our most popular, versatile spaces in which we hold Birthday parties, weddings, meetings, engagement parties, christenings and celebration of life events. This results in the pub being busy right through the week with an interesting array of events to keep the staff busy. We have an amazing team here at the Wood House, and offer great training and opportunities for progression within the company. Fronted by the general manager, Anna she is currently looking for our team to gain a new member and join the Wood House family. So if you’re hard working, ambitious and dedicated to the role and eager to learn we would love to hear from you.
