We’re looking for a confident, energetic and friendly Casual Bar & Events Team Member to join our busy wedding and events team.
This isn’t your typical bar job.
One weekend you could be working a packed wedding bar for 120 guests, the next you might be working alongside the team at a beautiful evening celebration with cocktails, fizz and a dance floor full of guests.
If you’re looking for a casual, part time role and are someone who loves hospitality, can deliver brilliant customer service, and knows how to work alongside a team but also take initiative, we’d love to hear from you.
WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING:
As a member of our Bar & Events team, you’ll play a key role in making sure our bar operation runs smoothly from the first arrival to the final drink.
Your responsibilities will include:
- Supporting the bar team during weddings and events
- Helping to set up and close down the bar to a high standard
- Ensuring guests receive friendly, efficient and professional service
- Keeping the bar well-stocked and organised throughout the event
- Ensuring responsible alcohol service and venue licensing procedures are followed
- Dealing confidently with guest queries and any bar-related issues
- Maintaining high standards of cleanliness, presentation and organisation
- Working closely with the wider events team to keep the whole event running smoothly
- Helping to create the relaxed and welcoming atmosphere our couples and their guests expect
WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR:
You don't need to have worked specifically in weddings and events before – we're much more interested in your hospitality experience and personality.
We're looking for someone who:
- Has previous bar, hospitality or events experience
- Is confident dealing with customers and busy environments
- Can stay calm, organised and professional when things get hectic
- Has excellent communication skills
- Takes pride in their work and notices the little things
- Is reliable, punctual and happy working evenings and weekends
- Is comfortable working around alcohol and understands the importance of responsible service
- Most importantly, enjoys working with people and wants to create a brilliant experience for our couples and their guests

You'll be part of some of the biggest and happiest days in people's lives and you'll genuinely see the difference your work makes.

The person we're looking for...
We're looking for someone who can walk into a busy bar and think:
“Right, let's get stuck in!”
Someone who can spot when the team needs another pair of hands, keep things moving when the bar is three-deep, can keep on top of stock and bar cleanliness and still have a smile on their face at the end of the night.
If that sounds like you, we want to hear from you.
Apply through Indeed with your CV and tell us a little about yourself and your hospitality experience.
