Assistant General Manager - Be Part Of The Opening Team

Opening in the heart of Shoreditch, our newest location will be a 120-cover restaurant and bar, housed in a restored Victorian dispensary with design by Cake Architecture. Our newest location will continue the evolution of the Kricket brand - introducing our first all-day café and bar concept at the front, alongside our signature restaurant experience to the back of the venue. We aim to create a special space where guests can dine, drink, connect and unwind – all day, every day.

The Group  

Kricket is a collection of modern Indian restaurants that combine British ingredients with the flavours and aromas of India. Having started life in a 20-seater shipping container at Pop Brixton, Kricket now operates permanent locations in Brixton, Canary Wharf, and Soho, alongside our award-winning bar concept, SOMA. The group is looking to grow further in London and internationally.
