You’ll be part of a café that’s deeply connected to its roots. Much of what we serve comes directly from Goodwood Home Farm, including our organic cheeses, dairy, heritage meats, and our very own Ale. These ingredients form the foundation of a seasonal menu that’s classic in concept, and consistently high in execution.

• Someone who takes pride in what they do (and brings the energy!)

What You’ll Get:

• Free gym & health club membership
• Health cash plan & wellbeing perks
• Free tickets to legendary Goodwood motorsport & racing events
• Staff discounts across the estate
• Performance‑based company bonus
• Room to grow your career with support from a passionate team

We care about out people, about sustainability, and about doing things the right way. From farm to plate, everything we do is about quality, integrity, and creating a guest experience that’s as real as it is memorable. a brilliant opportunity to step into a leadership role at one of the South’s most unique hospitality venues, where food, people, and place come together to create something truly memorable.

If you’re a natural leader with a passion for great food, good energy, and meaningful hospitality - we want to hear from you.
