Job description

Who we are…

Harbour Hotels are a collection of prestigious hotels nestled in some of the most beautiful locations across the South. Our luxury portfolio spans sensational coastal, country and city properties with a variety of exciting restaurant concepts and our unique HarSPA brand across many of our sites. In 2018, Harbour Hotels was named AA Hotel Group of the Year making it an exceptionally exciting time to join our ever growing hotel brand.

The hotel’s top floor is home to ‘HarBAR on 6th’, a vibrant rooftop bar, kitchen and club that ranks as one of Southampton’s best dining and drinking destinations.

This atmospheric, all-day dining affair serves up great food all day, starting with breakfast, then easing through into lunch, an ever-popular afternoon tea (3pm-5pm), then dinner and late-night bites.

HarBAR on 6th features floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the Solent; the terrace comes with outdoor seating, fire pits, a wood-fired pizza oven and panoramic sea views.

For the diners, renowned Chef Director John Pollard has created an innovative menu that serves up traditional and modern classics with a contemporary twist and all expertly cooked; think seafood burger (signature dish, highly recommended) steaks, salads, and authentic wood-fired pizzas.

For the drinkers, if wines, beers and an extended selection of gins, rums and vodkas aren’t enough, our team of mixologists have created exclusive HarBAR cocktails – or you can ask for your own special creation.

The vibe is casual, informal and most importantly fun. Don’t miss Friday and Saturday nights, when the tempo ramps up with live DJs and dancing… hotel guests jump the queue!

The role…

We have a superb opportunity for an experienced Waiter/Waitress to join the restaurant team immediately. As Waiter/Waitress you will need experience of working in a quality food & beverage outlet together with a passion for customer excellence. Excellent interpersonal communication skills and flair for hospitality are essential.

This is a position available to start right away.
