Sourdough Bread Baker

My Neighbours the Dumplings is a family-run business with 2 local neighbourhood restaurants in East London, specialising in hand-made dumplings and dim sum style dishes made from scratch in-house. We originally started out as a successful pop-up before opening our first restaurant in lower Clapton in 2016. In Summer 2019 we opened our second restaurant in the heart of Victoria Park village. What we do: Offering a selection of dumplings and small plates served family-style to share. Our dedicated Dumpling Team hand-makes all of our dumplings from scratch each day, whilst our Kitchen Team prepares the rest of the menu and handles our two daily services. We work closely with our specialist suppliers to showcase high-quality East/SE Asian ingredients and produce alongside sustainable British meat & seafood. Why we do it: Our menu is a reflection of our diverse restaurant family. It focuses mainly on Cantonese and other Chinese regional recipes and flavours but also draws inspiration from other East and South-East Asian cuisines, combining traditional techniques, family recipes and fond food memories with new ideas contributed by our teams. Each restaurant has its own style and atmosphere but we work to promote consistency and unity across both restaurants and all teams. We are committed to being an inclusive, positive work environment, with a diverse mix of gender, backgrounds and nationalities at all levels across the company. We value people with a strong work ethic and passion for hospitality who want to progress and we provide staff training and monthly skills workshops to encourage personal growth and understanding.
