We are on the hunt for some exceptional and creative talent.

Are you a Head Chef looking to take the next step in their career? We are looking for a Head Chef who has a great range of experience working at gastro pub food level. Just a short walk from Tower Bridge, The Tower Bridge Arms sits right at the end of the Bermondsey Beer Mile, making it a lively, fast-paced pub in one of London’s most iconic riverside spots. We see a real mix of people come through the doors, from tourists and city workers to loyal locals, which keeps the atmosphere buzzing and every day feeling different.

As part of Urban Pubs and Bars, we’re focused on creating places people genuinely enjoy—whether they’re visiting or working with us. You’ll be joining a friendly, supportive team with loads of energy, and there are plenty of opportunities to learn new skills, develop, and progress. If you’ve got a passion for great food, quality drinks, and delivering brilliant service, it’s a fantastic place to grow your career in hospitality.

Welcome to London's biggest independent pub company.

Urban Pubs & Bars was founded in 2014 by Nick Pring and Malcolm Heap and has since expanded to an estate of over 52 pubs, bars and restaurants across London.
‍
Our ethos focuses on acquiring the best sites in the right locations and recruiting exceptional talent who are as passionate about food and drink as we are. Establishing the right offer and investing in the right areas is key, whilst devoting time and attention to the team that operates those sites is a major part of that investment.
In 2018, Urban Pubs & Bars was ranked number 28 in the Sunday Times Virgin Atlantic Fast Track 100 list, recognising Britain's private companies with the fastest-growing sales. We were then nominated for 2 Publican Awards in 2020, winning the award for ‘Best Managed Pub Company - 2-50 sites’ on the night. In 2021, Urban was awarded 'Best Food-led Pub Company 2021' at the R200 awards. Most recently, Urban once again won ‘Best Managed Pub Company - 2-50 sites’ at the Publican Awards in 2023.

In 2025 we were recognised by Sunday Times in the Top 100 Companies to work for.
