We are looking for someone that with minimal training will be able to run the floor and bar automously as well as provide a good impression and training for less experienced staff and trainees.

Working in hospitality is hard work with long hours with mostly weekend and evening shifts. Please do not apply if you are shy of this! You must be happy to chat to our customers and make them feel welcome at all times, even when the pressure is on! However we have lots of fun here and look after our staff who recieve holiday pay, pension, regular breaks, cash and card tips and food on duty.

Although we are ideally looking for somone who would like to commit to our team and work fulltime we will consider part time employees with the right skills and fit.

Call for an informal chat and look around! References are essential. Salary will be dependent on age and experience.

NB. Unfortunately as we are a family living at the pub there is no live in opportunity. However we are happy to help with finding local accommodation if necessary.
