Commis Chef

Commis Chef

The Wood House is a delightful pub situated at the top of the leafy Sydenham & Dulwich Woods. The Wood House boasts a huge pub & a large garden, but also cosy through the winter months with warm fires helping to set the ambience. Our pub features an outside bar & Burger Shack, heated huts with private screens & a heated garden which makes our pub a great event space all year round.

The Wood House is an extremely popular destination to watch sports such as Six Nations, World Cup, Euros & Wimbledon with 10 TV screens inside & out.

The pub has continued to go from strength to strength with a great kitchen team, led by our talented Head Chef Jaun & our General Manger Boyd who recently achieved General Manager of the Year at Young's.

We have a handsome pub dog Copper & a beautiful pub baby, Sebastian, we are a personable & unique team always looking at new opportunities to stride, whether it be events such as our yearly Christmas Market or developing our new afternoon tea & breakfast menu.

The Wood House is a great place to work because it feels like you are outside of London even though you are close to the centre, it's a destination pub, but also a great community pub with fantastic regulars! 7 minutes on the train to Brixton & 12 to Victoria. Our team is friendly & hardworking & its a great and busy pub to develop your skills.

We have a fantastic reputation for being family-friendly, dog-friendly & having great Sunday roasts!

The Wood House is certainly somewhere to be proud to work!
