Job description

We are a bold, award-winning business pride ourselves on offering eclectic, innovative, and seasonal menus that impress our customers within an industry-leading environment. Our kitchens are friendly, welcoming, and high-standard, always striving for excellence. These standards are maintained by our great team of kitchen porters, who are the heartbeat of our kitchens and essential to our success.

We are looking for a Kitchen Porter to join our team.

The Prince Of Burford is a newly refurbished pub and hotel, converted from an 18th-century coaching inn, located in beautiful Burford on the north-eastern edge of the Cotswolds.

We offer 16 stunning ensuite rooms, with dog-friendly and family-friendly options, providing the perfect base to explore the Cotswolds AONB, Oxfordshire countryside, and historic Oxford.

Our menu focuses on locally sourced seasonal dishes and creative takes on pub classics, complemented by a selection of award-winning Butcombe beers, cocktails, and wines.

Inside, you'll find cosy interiors and rustic pub charm with original features, alongside relaxed dining spaces suitable for both intimate meals and larger gatherings.

We are very dog- and child-friendly, with a sunny beer garden featuring grassy and decked areas—ideal for al fresco drinking and dining.

If you're planning a special occasion, our private dining room is perfect for birthdays, wedding receptions, business meetings, and conferences.

Located at the entrance to the Cotswolds, we are an ideal spot for a weekend break or staycation, close to attractions like Cotswold Wildlife Park & Gardens, Cotswolds Distillery, Cotswold Water Park, Blenheim Palace, Crocodiles Of The World, and Burford Garden Company, as well as Cheltenham, Oxford, Cirencester, and Bourton-on-the-Water.

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 cashback with major retailers, savings on holidays, groceries, gifts, and more.
• A competitive hourly rate plus an equal share of tips, paid for the hours you work.
• Industry-leading training and development through bespoke plans as part of our ‘Pillars of Progression’ programme.
• Partnership with HIT training for industry-leading apprenticeship schemes.
• Additional support and coaching from our talented kitchen teams.
• Investment in tools and equipment to help you excel in your role.
• A vibrant team environment with parties, events, training courses, and industry-best rewards, discounts, and benefits—including 50% off food on shift.
• A caring business committed to mental health awareness through the Burnt Chef Project, along with an Employee Assistance Program available 24/7 for support.
