Meat London have 2 butcher’s shops in North London. It’s from our garden at Meat N16, Stoke Newington, where we host BBQ courses. We are the London school for Weber BBQs. The events continue to grow from strength to strength and we require a special someone to join the team. This is no ordinary job. You’ll be teaching a 4 hour course to guests on how to BBQ, but don’t worry, if you’re not a Grill Master yet, we’ll train you to be one! All we need you to have is the confidence to talk in front of people, and to be able to follow direction. When there’s no course on, our sausage rolls require your attention! We started making Meat London sausage rolls last month, and they’ve quickly become a staple in North London. Not forgetting the team in the shop. You could find yourself serving customers on our deli department, using our slicing machine to slice charcuterie, cutting cheese. You may be even asked to make burgers or chicken skewers. As I said, this is a unique role! Are you ready to apply for it?!
