Our Story

Bangers and Balls started with a mission to put seasonal food at the heart of the British Kitchen Table. In 2017 we launched with a Pop up Supper Club at Award Winning Bar Little Nans in Deptford.

Since then we have been creating recipes with the tips and roots of exciting vegetables, foraged food and nose to tail. We are starting a Revolution from your Kitchen Table.

We have great ambitions: to show the world you can be happier when you are in tune with the seasons while creating amazing memories and making the world a better place for future generations.

We have a vision to create a successful brand that gives something back and we want to stay strong to our values while working with you, our diners and revolutionaries. To be the change and write the story together.

We are not perfect and don’t get everything right but we are honest and that is how we can all be the catalyst for change. Starting a Revolution from your Kitchen Table.

Your Part in our Story

We want to build a successful brand that gives something back and we want you to help us shape that. We need brilliant people, who share our ambition, to join in with the next and most exciting part of our story.

This role is to help us to grow our brand, reach more people, drive change,  get creative and have fun while we do it!

On a day to day basis you will be helping us to implement our overarching strategy by helping to research topics from elderflower to why there is a cocktail with someone's toe in it (not ours we promise) to uploading content to the website to preparing social media benchmarking data.

This role would be excellent for an individual who is looking for their first marketing role and you will build experience in marketing strategy, social media planning, sales and how to plan and build content as well as running events.

Innovation

Innovation sits at our core but it can feel like a huge big word that doesn't mean much!
