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 rely on a 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 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, rich in history with a cozy, welcoming atmosphere.

It is a haven for locals, walkers, cyclists, and visitors alike. The recent addition of five boutique bedrooms above the pub and four dog-friendly rooms in converted barns makes The Swan an ideal spot for a rural retreat, family break, or staycation.

We are passionate about great food and drink, with an all-day menu focusing on seasonal local produce, pub classics, flatbread pizza, and award-winning Butcombe beer on tap.

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.

What’s in it for you?

• The opportunity to work for an award-winning business that has won Best Food Offer (2019 & 2020) and Best Managed Pub Company (2021) at The UK Publican Awards.
• Access to Liberation Life, a platform offering cash-back with major retailers, savings on holidays, groceries, gifts, and more.
• A competitive hourly rate plus an equal share of tips; you get paid for all hours worked.
• Industry-leading training and development through our ‘Pillars of Progression’ programme.
• Partnership with HIT training for industry-leading apprenticeships.
• Additional support and coaching from our talented kitchen teams.
• Tools and significant investments in our kitchens to help you succeed.
• Team parties, events, training courses, industry rewards, discounts, and benefits, including 75% off food on shift.
• A caring business that supports mental health initiatives through the Burnt Chef Project and offers a 24/7 Employee Assistance Program.
