Job description

We are a bold, award-winning business that prides itself on offering 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 are upheld by our 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.

Located in the heart of picturesque Corsham, Wiltshire, The Methuen Arms is a stunning Georgian coaching inn featuring 19 newly renovated, stylish bedrooms, award-winning food, and delicious Butcombe beer on tap.

With plenty of character, this cosy country pub with rooms is situated beside the stately Corsham Court and its beautiful grounds, just 10 miles from the enchanting city of Bath. The Methuen is the perfect base for exploring Wiltshire and the excellent walking, cycling, and dog-walking opportunities in and around the Cotswolds. Other local attractions include Lacock Abbey and Castle Combe.

Food and drink are at the heart of everything we do. We are passionate about sourcing local, seasonal, and sustainable produce, including ingredients from our own kitchen garden.

We offer various private hire spaces, and in the warmer months, our beer garden is ideal for al fresco dining and drinking.

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.
• A competitive hourly rate plus an equal share of tips. You will be paid for all hours worked.
• Access to industry-leading training and development through our ‘Pillars of Progression’ programme.
• Partnership with HIT training to provide industry-leading apprenticeship schemes.
• Additional support and coaching from our talented kitchen teams.
• Necessary tools and significant investment in our kitchens to help you do a great job.
• A lively work environment with team parties, events, training courses, excellent suppliers, and industry-leading rewards, discounts, and benefits, including 50% off food on shift.
• A caring business that supports your well-being, including being ambassadors for the Burnt Chef Project, which fights the stigma of mental health, and offering a 24/7 Employee Assistance Program.
