SUMMARY
We’re building the team at Kip & Nook — and we’re looking for great people who want to be part of something a bit different.
You’ll work across two venues. The Workshop is the social hub of the site — a seriously cool space filled with cars, bikes, a log burner, a pool table, beer on tap, and a menu of pizza and snacks. It’s relaxed, it’s fun, and there’s nowhere quite like it. Alberto’s Farmhouse is our brand new Italian-inspired restaurant, opening at the end of May and serving brunch and dinner seven days a week to hotel guests and visitors. Honest food, good company, farmhouse warmth.
Depending on the shift, you could be behind the bar making cocktails, pulling espresso shots, waiting tables in Alberto’s, running food, or keeping The Workshop buzzing on a Friday night. We’re not looking for people who only do one thing — we’re looking for people who want to do all of it.
THE ROLE
- Providing warm, attentive table service in Alberto’s and The Workshop
- Preparing and serving cocktails, beers, wines, and soft drinks behind the bar
- Making coffees and specialty drinks to a high standard on day shifts
- Running food orders from the kitchen and ensuring smooth service flow
- Clearing, resetting, and maintaining a clean, inviting space across both venues
- Supporting the wider team wherever you’re needed — bar, floor, front door
- Getting to know regulars, hotel guests, and visitors, and making them feel genuinely welcome
WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR
We’re hiring across several positions, and we know not everyone will tick every box — that’s fine. Tell us what you’re good at and what you want to learn. We’ll train the right people.
- A friendly, can-do attitude — personality matters as much as experience
- Reliability, energy, and a genuine enjoyment of looking after people
- Good communication skills and an eye for detail
- Flexibility across day and evening shifts, including weekends
- 18 or over
SKILLS WE’RE ESPECIALLY KEEN ON
If you have any of the following, please make it clear in your application — these are skills we’re actively looking for:
- Cocktail experience — you can build a menu, work a busy bar, and take pride in what you pour
- Barista/Coffee skills — you know your way around an espresso machine and can deliver consistently
- Table service experience — you’ve waited tables in a restaurant environment and understand pacing, upselling, and guest care
Previous hospitality experience is preferred but not essential for all positions. If you’re new to it but keen, we’re open to that too.
HOURS & CONTRACT
We’re hiring across a range of hours to suit different availability:
- Full-time: 40 hours per week (5 shifts)
- Part-time: approximately 15–32 hours per week (2–4 shifts)
Please indicate your availability, preferred hours, and whether you’re looking for predominantly day shifts, evening shifts, or a mix of both.
WHAT YOU’LL GET
- £10.85 - £12.71 per hour, depending on experience and skills. Pay may vary
- Full-time or part-time contracts available
- Staff discounts on food and drinks
- Discounted stays at Kip & Nook for you and your loved ones
- Access to our on-site wellness facilities — saunas, ice baths, and padel courts
- A people-first team that values personality as much as skill
- The chance to be part of something genuinely exciting from day one
- Training and development — including coffee, cocktails, and wine if you want to learn
- Real scope to grow — we promote from within and invest in our people
