Job description

Kitchen Porter - Coventry

26000 per annum

The Woodsman, Stratford Upon Avon

Situated in the heart of Stratford-upon-Avon, The Woodsman Restaurant offers a traditional approach to contemporary British cooking in comfortable and convivial surroundings.

We work with the seasons and source our ingredients from the bountiful English countryside as sustainably as possible.

We love using wild food, and harvest much of it ourselves.

All the meat on our menus is ‘nose to tail’ so the menu is ever changing, and we waste nothing.

But not only is our food impressive, our surroundings are too.

Dating back to 1500, our beautiful Grade II listed building was used as an Inn between 1655 to 1661 and played host to The Royal Shakespeare Club’s annual dinner from as early as 1824.

The next chapter in this building's rich history takes it back to its roots, creating a heritage dining experience where comfort and conviviality are key.

Responsibilities

Are you ready to join our dynamic team as a Kitchen Porter? We are looking for someone who is eager to learn and contribute to our kitchen operations at Castlebridge Hospitality.

You will also support our Chefs with food preparation and gain valuable experience in a professional kitchen environment.

This is your chance to be part of a talented and dedicated team, working with the best ingredients to deliver an excellent guest experience.

Don't miss out on this fantastic opportunity to kickstart your career in the culinary world.

Ideal Candidate

We are seeking someone with a positive, can-do attitude to help keep our kitchen running smoothly.

You should be able to work well on your own or as part of a team and have great interpersonal skills.

The kitchen can be fast-paced and challenging, so the ability to stay calm under pressure is key.

Your attention to detail and presentation standards will directly contribute to our guests' experience.

If you're excited about this opportunity, we want to hear from you!

All applicants must be eligible to live and work in the UK.

As part of the recruitment process, you will be asked to provide documented evidence of eligibility.
