A bit about the opportunity…

• Someone confident with daytime service, particularly breakfast and lunch.

• Someone who enjoys taking initiative and contributing ideas.
• A flexible, positive attitude and the ability to work well as part of a team.

What we can offer

• £15–£16 per hour, depending on experience.
• Approximately 35–40 hours per week, possibility of a 4 day working week
• A flexible opportunity with scope to help shape the food offering.
• The chance to bring your own ideas and creativity to the business.
• Potential to get involved in future pop-up evenings and guest-chef collaborations.
• Support from a family-run pub group that values good food, good people and individuality.
