Job description

Kitchen Porter - The backbone of Pasture

Pay: Hourly rate £12.71+ £1.90–£2. per hour in Tronc (on average). In addition to your standard hourly wage, you'll receive a share of Tronc, of which 100% is distributed to the team.

Pasture Cardiff is our bold second chapter — a true lockdown baby that’s grown into one of the city’s most vibrant dining destinations. Nestled in the heart of Cardiff, just steps from the iconic Cardiff Castle, the restaurant is built for theatre, energy, and unforgettable nights.

Our open kitchen puts live-fire cooking at the heart of the experience, with charcoal grills and dry-ageing cabinets on full display. On weekends, our resident DJ keeps the energy high late into the evening — because at Pasture, dining is a show, not just a meal.

We proudly source our beef from pasture-raised cattle across Wales and the South West, working closely with local farmers and producers to bring the best of the region to the table. Our beautiful terrace in the city centre adds a unique alfresco edge — perfect for cocktails, people-watching, and those long summer nights.

We’re looking for passionate, positive, and driven individuals to join our Cardiff crew — people who thrive in a fast-paced, high-energy environment and are ready to be part of something special.

We’re looking for someone who’s hardworking, reliable, and thrives in a busy, high-energy environment. You’re the kind of person who gets stuck in, keeps things moving, and always has your team’s back. With great attention to detail, you’ll take pride in cleanliness, organisation, and efficiency. You’ll also be comfortable handling physical tasks like lifting stock, managing waste, and staying on top of the demands of a busy service.
