Job description

Overview

Something huge is happening at The Blue Stoops... We’re giving our beautiful building a stunning renovation and bold expansion — and we’re looking for lively, guest-obsessed Bartenders to join our brand-new team. This is your chance to be part of the launch team at one of North Derbyshire’s most exciting pubs. You’ll train at our neighbouring site, The Hunloke Arms, before stepping into your new role at the reimagined Blue Stoops. Think goldfish bowls, rubber ducks, bathtubs, plant pots, candyfloss, dry ice, and cocktails built for the perfect insta-moment. Add to that over 100 bottled beers and ciders, 30 flavoured gins, 50 soft drinks, ice-cold pints of Peroni, homemade lemonade with lemon sorbet, and liqueur coffees. This isn’t just your standard local pub — it’s a Chilled Pub.

What The Role Entails

• Welcome with Energy - Greet guests at the bar and make them feel at home.
• Serve with Style - Mix, shake, pour, and serve drinks from our extensive menus with speed and accuracy.
• WOW Guests - Share product knowledge, make recommendations, and create memorable moments.
• Set the Scene - Help prepare the bar (and restaurant when needed) for service, ensuring lights, music, and atmosphere are spot on.
• Stay Safe & Compliant - Follow policies including Challenge 25, licensing laws, and health & safety standards.
• Get Creative - Take part in our legendary Shake-Off Competitions and keep up with the latest drinks trends.

Who We’re Looking For

• Positive, energetic people who love engaging with guests.
• Experience isn’t essential — but a love of hospitality and eagerness to learn are.
• Confident communicators who thrive in a busy, buzzing atmosphere.
• Flexible and happy to work evenings and weekends.

Why join us?

• Competitive pay (in line with minimum wage) + tips.
• 28 days paid holiday.
• Christmas & New Year’s Day off every year!
• Paid day off on your birthday
• Up to 70% discount across all Chilled Pubs.
• Instant access to wages via Wage-Stream.
• Monthly incentives, epic awards dinners, and company-wide competitions.
• Pension scheme (opt in/out) after 3 months.
• Career development — from in-house training to apprenticeships, we love growing our own future leaders.
• Wine Club - huge discounts for Chilled Employees
• A sociable, supportive team where you’ll feel part of the family.

Why Chilled Pubs?

We started back in 2007 with just one pub. Today, we have 7 stunning sites, over 500 team members, and even 7 alpacas as mascots. With ambitious plans to grow to 20 pubs, this is the perfect time to join our journey. We’re aiming for North Derbyshire’s best pubs. Our culture is built on Inspiring Togetherness — for guests and for our teams. We live and breathe our values of Warm, Hungry, People Smart, and Trust, because we believe the strongest teams create the best guest experiences.
