Jobs in Derby, United Kingdom

Seasonal Contract | May - October 2026 | Zakynthos, Greece

The Peligoni Club is a family‑run members club on the beautiful island of Zakynthos, Greece. Food and drink are central to the guest experience, and our four restaurants each bring something unique to the atmosphere of the club :

• The Terraces – fire‑cooked Eastern Mediterranean dishes for lunch and dinner
• Tasi – relaxed sea‑view breakfasts and bistro‑style lunches
• Mikro Nisi – our modern Greek fish taverna
• The Deli Kitchen – an evolving concept offering fresh Italian style dishes, salads, bakery items and grab‑and‑go options

Across the week we also host a lively calendar of events including open fire feasts, food festival nights, guest chef dinners, live music and private celebrations – all of which require warm, polished and confident service.
