Love food, teamwork, and fast-paced environments? Join us!
We’re getting ready to open Grass Hoppers Otley, a vibrant, family-focused destination full of energy — and we’re building a fantastic kitchen team to support it.
We’re looking for both Kitchen Assistants and Kitchen Porters to help keep everything running smoothly behind the scenes.
If you enjoy staying busy, working as part of a team, and playing a key role in delivering great experiences, we’d love to hear from you.
This is a hands-on, fast-paced role supporting our kitchen operation. Depending on the shift, you’ll help with food prep, service, or keeping the kitchen running efficiently behind the scenes.
✅ Preparing and serving food to a high standard ✅ Supporting the kitchen team during busy service ✅ Keeping the kitchen clean, organised, and safe ✅ Following food hygiene and safety procedures (full training provided)
✅ Managing the pot wash area efficiently ✅ Washing and clearing dishes, utensils, and kitchen equipment ✅ Checking in deliveries and putting stock away correctly ✅ Supporting the kitchen team with basic food prep when needed
Every role is vital — whether you’re on prep or pot wash, you’re a key part of delivering a great guest experience.
We’re more interested in attitude than experience — we’ll teach you the rest!
You’ll be a great fit if you:
-
Enjoy working in a busy kitchen environment
- Are reliable, organised, and hands-on
- Take pride in keeping things clean and running smoothly
- Bring a positive, team-focused attitude
- Are happy to get stuck in wherever needed
