Join Our Team as a Kitchen Porter

We are a bold, award-winning business pride ourselves in offering an eclectic range of innovative, fresh, and seasonal menus that ‘wow’ our customers within an industry-leading environment. Our kitchens are friendly, welcoming, and positive, with high standards and a team of great kitchen porters — the heartbeat of our kitchens — essential to our success.

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, full of history and a cozy, welcoming vibe. It’s a haven for locals, walkers, cyclists, and visitors alike. Recent additions include five boutique bedrooms above the pub and four dog-friendly rooms in converted barns, making it an ideal spot for a rural retreat or staycation.

We are passionate about great food and drink, offering seasonal local produce, pub classics, fresh flatbread pizza, and award-winning Butcombe beer. Our large beer garden is perfect for al fresco dining and sunny afternoons.

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