Harvest jobs in London

Brunswick East is a much loved neighbourhood cafe, in the heart of Dalston. Founded by two Australian sisters, we're a women lead business with a reputation for excellence. The Brunswick East name began almost 9 years ago with our cafe in the heart of Dalston. 5 years ago we proudly set up our Hackney Downs bakery where we work with regenerative flours, and produce all our own sourdoughs, pastries and baked good from scratch. We are well known for our high standards regarding all things brunch, coffee and baked goods. With the addition of our urban allotment Sky Farm, our 3500 sq ft rooftop allotment at Dalston. Working closely with our head grower we grow our produce from seed, cultivating and harvesting our own seasonal product all year round. Our reputation for creative and delicious food, is built from our desire to produce outstanding dishes from top quality seasonal produce, delivered with a vibe more in tune with the Melbourne brunch scene, from where we hail. We are passionate about hand crafting our menu from scratch and proudly make everything we serve in house. This ranges from sauces, to pickles & ferments, to house cured & smoked bacon, meats & fish, homemade cheeses (feta, halloumi etc), homemade yoghurt, miso's and vegetable charcuterie. Sustainability and reducing waste is very important to us too, and influences our seasonal menu, using local farms employing regenerative practices. Sustainability also plays a huge part of the choices we make within the day to day operation of the shop, and we are always striving for new ways we can reduce our waste, and impact.
