Job Requirements / Description

Calling all waiters! If you're searching for a fresh challenge and have waiting experience along with being guest obsessed, passionate about food and drink, and with experience in busy, high quality restaurants, then this could be the role for you.


The Fish is a family owned, 4 AA Red Star property featuring a stunning seafood restaurant "Hook" (2 AA rosette) which serves sustainable Cornish seafood. Our guests can also enjoy our beautiful lounge and bars areas, which serves gourmet hotdogs and small plates, alongside cocktails and all kinds of delicious regional tipples. We regularly host events, large and small, and offer stunning outdoor spaces to dine, relax and sip away on a cocktail or two. As such we are a busy venue! 


We are now looking for waiters to support our F&B Manager in helping lead our mission of providing a truly exceptional, guest-led experience within all of our F&B activities. You will ideally hold the following experience:

  • High volume F&B experience
  • Guest focused and obsessed with 5* guest experience
  • Experience in wine/bar/cocktail service
  • An absolutely meticulous eye for detail
  • Highly adaptable with a fresh, forward thinking approach to creating truly memorable guest experiences

We offer a hourly rate of either £12 or £12.40 depending on experience, and a full time contract of 40 hours per week, plus a share of the service charge and gratuities. We also offer meals on duty and work uniform. 


Are you looking for part time? If yes, please note that flexibility to work evenings and weekends will be required! 


We also offer a raft of excellent benefits including:



  • 30 days holiday per year (rising to 35 after 5 years)
  • A celebration birthday lunch in one of the hotels, on us!
  • Access to onsite mental health first aiders, and an employee assistance programme from Hospitality Action

  • Up to £1000 when you successfully refer a friend to work with us
  • Premium payments for Christmas and New Year shifts
  • An optional, low cost healthcare cash plan
  • Free, in-person financial planning advice
  • Broad ranging careers in all the usual hotel departments and a few you wouldn’t expect…like our adventure team
  • Fully funded apprenticeship opportunities

Due to our rural location, you will require your own transport (WR12 7LJ). If this sounds like your ideal next move, and you would like to discuss this role or any other opportunities on our estate, please do get in touch! We look forward to hearing from you. 


We are members of the Hoteliers Charter, and are committed to providing a workplace built on respect, fairness, equality, diversity and opportunity, and to putting wellness and career development at the heart of what we do.
