lai rai

About lai rai

A sister restaurant to family-founded Vietnamese kitchen Bà Ba Peckham, lai rai is a new-school fine casual dining spot on Rye Lane. Paying homage to the Vietnamese roots of our core team, the menu features familiar flavours from the South East but with a modern European twist, expanding the notion of “Vietnamese fare” in the London food scene. Founded by a team of young creatives based in Southeast London, lai rai is a food and drinks brand seeking to pave the way in contemporary Vietnamese-British dining experiences.

Workplace Culture

At lai rai, we give our team the freedom to work independently, bring ideas, and take ownership of their role, while staying accountable to each other and the standards of the restaurant. 

The culture is respectful, fair, and supportive. We believe in kindness, clear communication, and creating a stable workplace where people feel secure and valued.

It’s a team that works hard, looks after each other, and takes pride in doing things properly.
