Baristas & Head Barista/Manager

Solid Ground is a new coffee and sandwich kiosk in Canonbury from the team behind Hackney’s award-winning Bad Manners restaurant (@badmanners.ldn). We’re looking to stamp our mark in this new location and need a superstar team to make it happen.

The kiosk is located outside Canonbury station and we’re expecting to be busy from the get go with commuters and local residents. We’re aiming to serve the best quality coffee in the area and have partnered with Plot Roasters for our house espresso. We’ll also be selling top-tier sandwiches made by our chefs at Bad Manners.
