Job description

We are a bold, award-winning business proud to offer an eclectic range of innovative, fresh, and seasonal menus that impress our customers within an industry-leading environment. We run friendly, welcoming, and positive kitchens with high standards, always striving to be the best we can be. These high standards rely on a team of great kitchen porters—the heartbeat of our kitchens—without whom we could not deliver!

We are looking for a Kitchen Porter to join our team.

The Prince Of Burford is a newly refurbished pub and hotel converted from an 18th-century coaching inn, located in beautiful Burford on the north-eastern edge of the Cotswolds.

We have 16 stunning ensuite rooms with dog-friendly and family-friendly options, providing the perfect base for exploring the Cotswolds AONB, the Oxfordshire countryside, and historic Oxford.

Our menu focuses on locally sourced seasonal dishes and exciting takes on pub classics, complemented by a selection of award-winning Butcombe beers, cocktails, and wines behind the bar.

Inside, you'll find cosy interiors and rustic pub charm with original features throughout, along with relaxed dining spaces for both intimate meals and larger gatherings.

We are very dog-friendly and child-friendly, with a sunny beer garden featuring grassy and decked areas—ideal for al fresco drinking and dining!

If you're planning a special occasion or event, our private dining room is perfect for birthdays, wedding receptions, business meetings, and conferences.

Located at the entrance to the Cotswolds, we’re an ideal spot for a weekend break or staycation, close to attractions like Cotswold Wildlife Park & Gardens, Cotswolds Distillery, Cotswold Water Park, Blenheim Palace, Crocodiles Of The World, and Burford Garden Company, as well as Cheltenham, Oxford, Cirencester, and Bourton-on-the-Water.

What’s in it for you?

• The opportunity to work for an award-winning business, recognized as the Best Food Offer (2019 & 2020) and Best Managed Pub Company (2021) at The UK Publican Awards.
• Access to Liberation Life, a platform offering cashback with major retailers, discounts on holidays, groceries, gifts, and more.
• A competitive hourly rate plus an equal share of tips. You will be paid for all hours worked.
• Industry-leading training and development through our bespoke ‘Pillars of Progression’ programme.
• Partnership with HIT Training for industry-leading apprenticeship schemes.
• Additional support and coaching from our talented kitchen teams.
• Tools and investment in our kitchens to help you excel in your role.
• Team events, parties, training courses, and some of the industry’s best rewards, discounts, and benefits, including 50% off food on shift.
• A caring business committed to mental health awareness through the Burnt Chef Project and offering a 24/7 Employee Assistance Program for support.
