Employment Type: Part-time 18-30 hours a week
Reports to: Super Host / Owner
About Us
We're a premium burger restaurant serving hand-crafted burgers made from the finest grass fed Cornish beef you can find! We rear our own herd of dairy cows right next to Stithians Reservoir, less than five miles from our restaurant. We know our carefully chosen animals well, caring for them from calf to retirement. All of our cattle are grass fed on our own farm and our retired dairy cows have a two year rest at pasture at the end of their milking life. If you are interested in ethical meat you’ll know our Homage to the Bovine range of premium steaks which we supply to many of the top and award winning restaurants around Cornwall. We even have own butchery to ensure all of our products are of premium quality.
Not heard about us? Cow Girls is an established local brand, after twelve successful months trading at The Buttermarket it was clear that we had outgrown their space, but not out grown our home town of Redruth. So having found our perfect spot in the town, we are back!
Our restaurant is all about showcasing the results of high quality farming, we believe in sustainably farmed, ethically reared meat eaten less often; we are not a fast-food burger chain!
Did someone say what about the dairy? Our milk features here to!
We have a great range of shakes made from milk pasteurised on the farm and even make our own Cornish soft serve ice cream. You will have to try it!
In short our restaurant is a celebration of Cornish dairy farming!
Of course there are carefully curated sides and an impressive drinks selection featuring our own farm made cordials, low impact wines and the farmers favourite Hawkstone beers. So there is plenty of up-sell opportunities and reasons to keep guests in their seats.
We take pride in exceptional ingredients, a vibrant atmosphere, and service that makes every guest feel like a regular.
If you are looking for place to excel, have fun and provide the best service Cornwall can offer. We are the employer for you!
