About Riverford Field Kitchen
Riverford Field Kitchen, our 60-cover farm restaurant, opened in 2005, and has been extraordinarily successful both in terms of reviews, awards and as a way of demonstrating how good seasonal vegetables can be. We change our menu daily according to what’s available – if something isn’t in season, you won’t find it on the menu.
Riverford is driven by an enthusiasm for fresh, seasonal, local and affordable produce and the desire to share this at its best with as many people as possible.
Preferably, you will have some experience of waiting in a restaurant and be a natural at dealing with customers. An interest in, and ability to learn about, food, farming and the environment is a must as our guests have a lot of questions for us!
What you’ll be doing
You’ll be serving wonderful food and locally-sourced drinks; making fresh juices; helping keep the restaurant clean and tidy and occasionally harvesting some produce from our polytunnel and garden.
We are looking for drive and determination, while maintaining the culture of a business driven by a love of food and great quality ingredients. You will be customer-focused and really understand what our customers are looking for and what makes them happy, maintaining our reputation as a great place to eat.
This is a 6-month fixed-term contract from April to September 2024, requiring 30 hours per week. To accommodate the operational requirements of the business, flexibility in working hours is essential, as they may vary day-to-day and week-to-week. Start and finish times will be determined by job demands, and your manager will provide as much notice as possible. Weekend work is a necessity. Work is based at Wash Barn, Buckfastleigh, Devon, TQ11 0JU.
