The role

At a glance, you will work as part of a team to serve food and drinks to the correct specification, working efficiently while maintaining high standards of cleanliness, safety and customer service. Our pubs open early and close late, so we offer great flexibility with shift patterns, including mornings, evenings, weekends and late finishes.

Duties Include

• Taking orders, preparing, dispensing and serving drinks to the correct spec, whether at the bar or via the customer app
• Delivering food to customers, ensuring that check‑backs are completed and clearing plates within the required timeframe
• Providing friendly customer interactions: say "hello", thank customers and build rapport
• Being knowledgeable about promotions, events and new products
• Maintaining our "clean as you go" standards, including clearing tables, wiping surfaces and carrying out toilet checks
• Working in all areas, including glass‑washing, restocking fridges, floor and beer garden clearing and other duties as needed

Progression and Development

Most Wetherspoon team leaders and managers started in the kitchen or behind the bar. If you’re looking to progress, we can support your development with:

• Structured on‑the‑job training
• Apprenticeships and management academies
• Cross‑training into other areas (kitchen, hotel)
• Opportunities to move into team‑leader, kitchen‑shift‑leader and/or pub‑manager roles

Wetherspoon promotes an inclusive working environment where everyone is welcome. When you’re at work, we want you to feel comfortable being yourself. Whatever your background, preferences or beliefs, we’ll ensure that you have the skills and knowledge you need for a great career with us.
