Plaza Khao Gaeng is seeking Back of House, Front of House, and Bar team members at all levels to join our exciting new opening.

We’re looking for friendly, personable, and passionate individuals who love food and drink and want to be part of something special. This is a fantastic opportunity to join an award-winning, critically acclaimed restaurant group and help us bring the bold, vibrant flavours of Southern Thailand to London.

If this sounds like you, we want to hear from you!

Plaza Khao Gaeng Borough Yards

We’re excited to announce that a second Plaza Khao Gaeng will be opening in Borough Yards this November! The latest opening from the Chaiyo team, Chef-Founder Luke Farrell and co., will bring Southern Thailand’s coast-to-jungle cuisine to the arches of Stoney Street.

This new location pairs braised soy and spiced pork hocks—traditionally served from Bangkok’s famous wheeled carts—with the fiercely sour gaeng som curries of Phatthalung. It’s Southern Thai cooking at its boldest: a faithful take on khao gaeng (“curry over rice”) now tuned for London’s big-city appetite.

Hyper-seasonal produce from Luke’s Ryewater Nursery greenhouses shapes the menu, delivering freshness and intensity straight from garden to plate.
