Bar & Restaurant Supervisor at The Gloucester Old Spot
We are a busy, food-led independent pub, renowned for our hearty homemade dishes, excellent selection of real ales, and commitment to using locally sourced ingredients and drinks wherever possible. Our beautiful beer garden accommodates over 150 guests, making us a popular destination throughout the year.

- Leading shifts and supporting the front-of-house team.
- Maintaining high standards of cleanliness, organisation, and customer service throughout the pub.
