We are a bold, award-winning business who pride ourselves in offering an eclectic range of innovative, fresh, and seasonal menus that 'wow' 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. It is these high standards that without a team of great kitchen porters; the heartbeat of our kitchens; we could not deliver!
We are looking for a Kitchen Porter to join the family.
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, brimming with history and a cosy, welcoming vibe.
A haven for locals, walkers, cyclists and visitors alike, the recent addition of five stunning boutique bedrooms above the pub, and a further four dog-friendly rooms in its converted barns (one accessible), makes The Swan the ideal spot for a rural retreat, family break or staycation.
We're passionate about great food and drink, with an all-day food offer focused on seasonal local produce, delicious pub classics, flatbread pizza fresh from the oven, and plenty of award-winning Butcombe beer on the taps.
In the warmer months our large beer garden is ideal for al fresco dining, or soaking up some sunshine over a few pints.
Located just 7 miles from Bristol airport and 15 miles from Bristol Temple Meads train station, The Swan is the perfect base for exploring Bristol, Somerset, and the world-class walking, cycling and dog-walking opportunities in and around the Mendips. Other local attractions include Cheddar Gorge, Wookey Hole Caves, Glastonbury Tor and Ashton Gate Stadium.
