Job description
THE NAGS HEAD – GREAT MISSENDEN
Recently crowned as 'The Best in Bucks' by Pub & Bar Magazine, The Nags Head is a popular Buckinghamshire pub set in the heart of the Chilterns. We are known for our idyllic setting, quality food, and boutique bed & breakfast guest rooms. We have recently had a dramatic shake-up in the kitchen having appointed Head Chef, Howard Gale, and his incredibly talented new kitchen brigade. As a result, this has enabled us to progress from a casual, foodie pub to a more sophisticated offering without losing the affections of our long-time locals and remaining an idyllic Country Inn. We are therefore looking to expand our core team with some strong talent to ensure we can maintain and develop our excellent reputation and win further recognition and awards across the hospitality sector.
The Role:
Team Member – Front of House
We are looking for an enthusiastic waiter/waitress with a keen interest in the hospitality sector who enjoys fine food & drink to join our front-of-house team. The right candidate will have a genuine passion for impeccable customer service and be able to offer personal and thoughtful touches to each guest’s dining experience, taking the time to listen to the needs of our guests, and building natural rapport with them.

- Have waiting experience (from a/multiple high-end establishments preferred)
- Can fluently speak & understand English
- Show meticulous attention to detail
- Be competent in prioritising tasks during busy periods
- Always appreciate the importance of impeccable customer service and practice this throughout each service
- Be quick to learn and withhold new information, skills, and methods of working
- Have a passion and understanding for fine food & flavours with the ability to make knowledgeable suggestions and recommendations on the dishes that customers might enjoy.
It is paramount that staff are self-motivated team players and can confidently communicate with customers, the FOH staff, and kitchen team throughout each shift.

Staff are ambassadors of our evolving brand and encouraged to promote the entablement and its success as the restaurant gains increasing recognition in the press & social media.
