About the role
Great food, great service, great people to work with.

You’ll serve up a treat every time, producing dishes to the highest standards, whether it’s tea and toast or a fine-dining event.
Yes, it can be hard work, with lots of customers to serve, but that’s the beauty of working in a great team: you’re never on your own. There’s always someone to turn to for support. We appreciate that you have a life outside of work too, so we don’t do split shifts or evening work. This means that as well as enjoying a rewarding job, you’ll have an altogether better work-life balance. We’ll also help you to develop your career, if that’s what you want, with training and the chance to gain recognised professional qualifications.
About you
You’ll already have some catering/kitchen experience, but you’re keen for more, like the chance to get involved in designing menus. We’d like you to ideally have a Level 2 Food Hygiene Certificate and a good Health & Safety awareness too. And, like everyone here, you love seeing empty plates and happy customers.
Incredibly rewarding
From amazing places to helpful colleagues to great benefits, we want work to be a pleasure. As well as giving you free admission to all our incredible places (that’s you and your family), you’ll enjoy a helpful 20% off at our shops, cafes and restaurants, 25 days’ holiday (pro rata for part-time), pension scheme and flexible working. There’s also MY Discounts, a brilliant scheme that gives you exclusive discounts with hundreds of retailers and big brands. But they’re just the benefits we can tell you about here.
This position offers annualised hours, therefore the number of hours may vary week to week. The property opens at various times during the year however in peak season, the post holder will normally work Wednesday through to Sunday 10:00am to 5:30pm. Flexibility is required towards the working pattern and will include weekends & Bank Holidays.
Salary: £12,000 per annum (£14,182.00 per annum, pro rata)
