Here's a little bit of general information about us and what we look for in a candidate:
We run a small family style business with an emphasis on individuality. Both of our owners Mike & Dave work hard everyday alongside their team to produce the sort of food and environment that they want to be a part of both as a guest and as an employee. With a hands-on mentality our restaurant Manager can be seen getting just as involved in service right alongside the team.
All of our staff members assist one another regardless of position or role.
We prioritise work ethic above all so previous training & experience is not a requirement. Whether you're looking to join our front of house or the kitchen teams you'll be given ample opportunity to be creative and encouraged to grow alongside the business whilst gaining valuable insight and experience to add to your CV.
