Job description

Bored of working in outdated, run-down pubs? Craving something more? No longer happy to accept anything less than the best? We totally get that, and neither are we! We know our pubs are amongst the best and it’s only right that the people who work here are too!

Think.…. Goldfish bowls, rubber ducks, bathtubs, plant pots, bonbons, test tubes, candyfloss and dry ice, a huge range of unique and quirky cocktails ready for their ‘insta moment’. Over 100 bottled beers and ciders, 30 flavoured Gins and 50 different soft drinks. Ice cold pints of Peroni, homemade lemonade topped with zesty lemon sorbet, or the perfect liqueur coffee, we really do have something for everyone!

This isn’t just your standard local pub... Do you want in?

Chilled Pubs are on the search for a Bartender to join our ever-growing family. With ample opportunities on the horizon this could be the perfect company to evolve in your career.

Who are Chilled Pubs?

It all started back in 2007 when Loren agreed to Richards crazy dream, and they together purchased the Bulls Head in Repton. Fast forward 17 years and they have a thriving pub business. With 7 gorgeous sites, over 500 employees, an industry leading food & drink menu and just to be a bit different, 7 mascot alpacas.

Driven by their vision to become the top leading pub brand in the Midlands, they’re passionate about finding superstars to live and breathe their values and ensure all guests are truly wowed by their Chilled Pub experience. With no signs of slowing down, Richard and Loren are always on the lookout for their next project and would like to reach a portfolio of 20 pubs in the near future.

What the role entails?

• Welcoming guests into the bar area, taking orders and dispensing a range of drinks from our fabulous variety of menus.
• This is a fast-paced role and requires excellent communication and organisation skills – we encourage interaction between our teams and our guests – so being a chatterbox is ideal providing you can multi-task.
• Fulfilling guests' orders accurately and as efficiently as possible whilst not compromising the quality of our products, or the level of service provided.
• Having a full understanding of our menu and exceptional product knowledge so that you can confidently make recommendations to our guests and help answer any questions.
• Helping to prepare the bar areas (and the restaurant from time to time) for our guests’ arrival and ensuring the ambience is set appropriately in line with the Chilled standard (think lights, music, candles).
• Ensure we all remain safe, legal, and compliant in line with the various policies and processes we have in place (all will be briefed during your induction) – an example of this would be adhering to our ‘Challenge 25’ age verification policy.
• Providing knowledgeable and creative drink recommendations at our half-yearly ‘shake-off’ competitions.
• Keeping up to date with the latest drink trends & legislation (we’ll help with this).

Who are we looking for?

• Somebody who naturally aligns with our values, which are to be warm & friendly and genuinely ’guest obsessed’.
• A positive and energetic person, driven to consistently provide a 'WOW' service for all our guests.
• Experience isn’t necessary; however, you must be eager to learn and be comfortable working in a busy pub environment.
• Somebody who shares our passion for Chilled Pubs and is genuinely excited to be part of our team.
• Somebody with a flexible approach to work, this isn’t a typical 9-5 role, and both evening and weekend work will be required.

What’s in it for you?

• This role is paid in line with minimum wage.
• 28 days paid holiday.
• Christmas and New Year’s Day off, every year!
• Your birthday is a PAID DAY OFF.
• Up to 70% discount across all Chilled Pubs.
• A sociable team where you'll become part of the family.
• Instant access to Wage-Stream (you can access your salary early essentially).
• Monthly incentives, yearly ‘Dennis Awards’ dinners, and company-wide competitions to win tickets to some of the biggest music shows in the UK.
• Pension scheme (opt in/out) available after 3 months employment.
• Career development opportunities – whether this is in-house, externally delivered training programmes, or via our Apprenticeship partner (Lifetime), we have a real appetite at Chilled Pubs to ‘grow our own’ future leaders.
• Wine Club! Huge discounts on wine for Chilled Employees.

At Chilled Pubs, ‘Inspiring Togetherness’ is a fundamental part of what we do, both for our wonderful guests, but also, our teams across the business. Chilled Pubs is focused on being the best, and to help us get there, we understand, care about, and live and breathe four core values. Having this strong foundation and core belief system across the business, is truly helping us lead the way in the hospitality sector! If this sounds like a bit of you, we’d love to receive your application!

We are extremely proud to have created a real family here at Chilled Pubs, with many of our employees achieving close to 10 years’ service with us.

We hope to welcome you to the family soon!
