Bleecker
About Us
Zan Kaufman founded Bleecker in 2012. We started as a food truck and today we have restaurants and delivery kitchens across London. We stand for cooking the best burgers in an equal world, and our values are united, passionate, empowering and diverse.
Our slogan is: commitment to the burger. In 2026, we were named the Best Burger in the World by World’s 101 Best Steak Restaurants. In 2020 and 2024 we won Best Burger at the National Burger Awards.
Bleecker is proud to be a London Living Wage employer. In 2026, Best Companies awarded us their two-star “Outstanding to Work For” accreditation.
Working at Bleecker
At Bleecker equality, diversity and inclusion are central to our vision and values.
We are committed to creating a workplace where people of all ethnicities, genders, sexual orientations, nationalities, religions, ages, socioeconomic backgrounds and abilities are welcomed, supported and empowered to thrive. We’re particularly keen to welcome candidates who are members of groups that experience discrimination and/or unequal treatment in wider society.
Bleecker is proud to be a Stonewall Diversity Champion, and we continue to build a culture where LGBTQ+ employees are free to be themselves. Our handbook includes gender transitioning guidance, gender-neutral parental leave language and clear definitions to help our team call out and stamp out homophobia, biphobia and transphobia.
We run twice-yearly EDI reporting across ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation and gender identity, helping us stay accountable, track progress and identify where biases may exist in the business. In 2024, we partnered with an EDI specialist to deliver a video series focusing on key topics like intersectionality, unconscious bias and the Equality Act.
When we recruit, train, promote or engage in any people practice, we do so with fairness. Bleecker is a place where different voices, backgrounds and experiences come together.
Better burgers come from stronger teams who are empowered and able to bring their whole self to work.
