Job description

We are a bold, award-winning business pride ourselves on offering an eclectic range of innovative, fresh, and seasonal menus that impress our customers within an industry-leading environment. Our kitchens are friendly, welcoming, and positive, with high standards driven by our dedicated team of kitchen porters—the heartbeat of our kitchens. Without them, we could not deliver our quality service.

We are seeking a Kitchen Porter to join our team.

Located in Rowberrow, on the edge of the Mendip Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, The Swan is a 17th-century Grade II-listed pub and inn filled with history and a cozy, inviting atmosphere.

It is a haven for locals, walkers, cyclists, and visitors, with five boutique bedrooms above the pub and four dog-friendly rooms in converted barns, making it an ideal rural retreat, family getaway, or staycation destination.

We are passionate about great food and drink, offering seasonal, locally-sourced pub classics, flatbread pizza, and a selection of award-winning Butcombe beers.

In warmer months, our large beer garden is perfect for al fresco dining or relaxing with a few pints.

Located just 7 miles from Bristol Airport and 15 miles from Bristol Temple Meads station, The Swan is an excellent base for exploring Bristol, Somerset, and the Mendips, with attractions like Cheddar Gorge, Wookey Hole Caves, Glastonbury Tor, and Ashton Gate Stadium nearby.

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, paid for the hours worked.
• Industry-leading training and development through bespoke plans as part of our ‘Pillars of Progression’ program.
• Partnership with HIT training for apprenticeship schemes.
• Additional support and coaching from our talented kitchen teams.
• Tools and investments in our kitchens to help you excel.
• Team parties, events, training courses, industry rewards, discounts, and benefits, including 75% off food on shift.
• A caring employer committed to mental health awareness through the Burnt Chef Project and offering a 24/7 Employee Assistance Program.
