• Highly organised.

• Conscientious and reliable.

• An excellent communicator.

Essential Experience:

• Previous hospitality management experience.

• Experience managing teams.

• Experience recruiting, training and developing staff.

• Strong organisational skills.

• Availability to work evenings, weekends and key trading periods.

Why Join True Craft?

• Join a respected independent hospitality business.

• Work directly with the owners.

• Genuine autonomy and influence over how the business operates.

• Competitive salary plus additional monthly TRONC tips.

• Paid holiday with additional 3 days at Christmas.

• Opportunity to make a real impact rather than simply follow a corporate playbook.

If you're passionate about hospitality, enjoy developing people and take pride in creating great teams and exceptional customer experiences, we'd love to hear from you.

New Lunch Menu at Walthamstow

To celebrate one year since we brought our epic sourdough pizzas and unparalleled selection of craft beers to Walthamstow, we’ve expanded our menu to introduce a range of delicious sides, new pizzas, and our first lunch time offering, all of which will be available exclusively from our Walthamstow St James Street site.

Our same high quality 48hr proved dough will also be used to make our brand new Sourdough Flatbread Sandwiches, which will make the perfect option for lunch (available 12-5pm). Filled using the freshest ingredients, the sandwiches will change regularly with, the first up being, the Italian BLT sandwich filled with Smoked Pancetta, Beef Tomato, Fresh Basil, Salad Leaves, and Confit Garlic Mayo. There will also be a vegetarian option with Roasted Aubergine, Creamy Stracciatella, Salad Leaves and Smokin’ Hot Tomato Sauce.

Two Salad specials will also launch as part of the new lunchtime menu, starting off with a Spanish inspired Grilled Chorizo (Cobble Lane Cured), Sweet Roasted Pepper, and Manchego Cheese salad, and a Grilled Goats Cheese, Walnut, and Caramelised Red Onion Salad.

To accompany our famous pizza menu (or perhaps for those looking to have a bite with a pint) guests can now order from True Crafts new sides menu, which includes a fresh, creamy Burrata which is accompanied by a home-made pesto and served with sourdough flatbread.

All new menu items are available from mid October 2024 to celebrate True Craft Walthamstow’s first birthday. Our pizzas are also available for delivery throughout the local area via Deliveroo.

TRUE CRAFT POP-UP LAUNCHES IN HACKNEY WICK

We’re partnering up with our friends at The Cause to open a new pop-up venue in Hackney Wick, and True Craft is doing the pizzas.

The team behind beloved Tottenham venue The Cause has moved on to pastures new over in Hackney Wick with a venue named All My Friends. The space will incorporate a bar, record store, hi-fidelity soundsystem and street food - with True Craft bringing their famous Sourdough Pizzas and Sho Foo Doh providing Japanese inspired small plates to the Cause’s community of loyal followers. True Craft Hackney Wick is due to open for the first time at the beginning of October and will run until January 2023.

“Like many of our regulars, Hackney Wick was where the DIY party scene started for many of us,” says The Cause co-founder, Stuart Glen. “Whilst the area has changed, All My Friends will be a nod to its roots, with a no-nonsense back-to-basics vibe, collaborating with friends we’ve met over the years, like True Craft, to showcase local creativity.”

All My Friends will be a more laid back setting compared to the parties that went down at The Cause in Tottenham. Its a meeting place for like-minded people, a place for all the friends that we’ve met along the way and all the people we’re yet to meet.

True Craft is now open!

True Craft is a labour of love from owners David Lewis, his brother John, and local Tottenham resident Oz Earl. With our combined passion for great beer and David's experience in one of London's finest sourdough pizza restaurants, we came together to celebrate what we love. We believe that beer and pizza are a match made in heaven. Thanks to the varied and complex flavours of modern craft beers, they pair perfectly with food, and in particular sourdough pizza. We wanted to create the perfect environment to celebrate them both.

With Tottenham now establishing itself as the beer brewing heartland of London and the borough now becoming a nightlife hotspot, the area felt like the perfect place to set up home. We found a beautiful abandoned Victorian pub on West Green Road, quit our jobs and set about 3 months of renovation work to bring it back into use, working with some of the finest local craftsmen...and the rest is history!
