About Dishpatch
Dishpatch delivers the best restaurants to every home in the UK. We believe the best chefs deserve the biggest tables and that incredible food shouldn’t be confined to the lucky few that live in the city. Since we began in March 2020, we’ve partnered with the UK’s most pioneering restaurants and chefs – including Michel Roux Jr., Yotam Ottolenghi, Angela Hartnett at Cafe Murano, and Jose Pizarro – to deliver hundreds of thousands of meals across the country nationwide. Dishpatch makes it possible to experience incredible restaurant food in your own home.
Backed by the world’s leading consumer and brand venture investors, Dishpatch is growing fast and our sights are set on building a brand, product and collective that both restaurants and diners truly love. We’re continuing to rapidly increase the diverse range of restaurants and chefs we partner with to serve our growing community of diners.

If this sounds like something you can’t wait to get stuck into, we want to hear from you. Join us on our mission to democratise food globally, and bring the world’s best chefs to the kitchens of everyone.
On diversity
While many companies place an emphasis on diversity, we could not place a higher importance on it. London’s wonderful food scene, like many other ‘eating cities’ in the world, is an expression of the diversity of the city. We believe in creating a team which is a community of people as diverse as possible, joined together by a love and passion for food.
Every role in the Dishpatch team is open to applications from all sections of society. We’re committed to building a culture of inclusion, belonging and connection as we work together on building something truly great. We actively encourage applications from everyone; regardless of race, religion or belief, ethnic origin, different physical ability, family structure, socio-economics, age, nationality or citizenship, marital, domestic or civil partnership status, sexual orientation, gender identity, or any other difference that makes you, well, you.
Faqs
Where are you based?
Our office is next door to our central fulfilment premises in Poplar, London, right next to Canary Wharf.
What are your working hours?
Most of us work 9-6, but we adopt a flexible working culture & hours. It’s more important to us what you’re getting done, not when you’re doing it.
