About us:

In the market village of Great Eccleston, The Farmers Arms, is a traditional country pub with a contemporary feel. It has a restaurant set out over two floors, a theatre-style kitchen, a snug and bar area, covered alfresco dining space and a semi-private function space.

We are passionate about quality and using the best regional product. Our main menu of British classics changes with the seasons; and our Seafood Specials are created by our talented team of chefs on site, making the most of the catch of the day and best quality seafood available.

We have been recognised with multiple awards including Restaurant Magazine’s Food Led Company and the Publican Award’s Best Food Offer multiple times.

Recognised as a leading employer, we are extremely proud to be in The Sunday Times Best Places to work.

We know that the key to success is the people within the business, and that the first step is recruiting the best people who are just as passionate as us about food, drink, and true hospitality.

As part of a group of seven premium pubs with rooms, we’re big enough to offer progression and multisite opportunities, but small enough to know all of our teams personally and as individuals, which allows people to develop and excel in their areas of interest.

About you:

• You will know your way around a kitchen, having worked in a similar environment before and be ready for your next challenge!
• You are passionate about food, have impeccable standards, and a great team spirit.
• You are ready to run your own section.
• You are a multi-tasker with a keen eye for detail.
  
• You are keen to work in a fast-paced environment.
