Casual Cafes and Restaurant Assistants

1 week ago

Windermere, United Kingdom Brockhole The Visitor Centre Full time
8-37 hours per week (as per rota requirements and availability)


Are you looking for a new job filled with variety that keeps you busy? If you want a job that will excite and challenge you and offers you the opportunity to learn new skills whilst giving you lots of benefits then this might be the job for you.

You don't need to have previous catering experience, as we will provide full training, but you do need to want to learn, be willing to work hard and to serve customers with enthusiasm and a smile.


Following an award-winning year, where Brockhole-on-Windermere won 'Best Large Tourist Attraction', we are now looking to grow and diversify the service at our beautiful site, and we need cafe and restaurant assistants to help deliver our exceptional customer service to returning and new customers.


Do you want to:

  • Work at one of the most exciting venues in the Lake District, at the heart of a World Heritage site, and still have most evenings off no more 11pm finishes
(Outlets close around 5:30pm in high season and the café shuts at 4pm in winter - apart from private evening events)

  • Give top quality customer service to a variety of clientele.
  • Working across a range of outlets from an award nominated restaurant and a very popular café to our fastpaced café outlets offering a variety of takeaway options.
  • Work with a fantastic existing catering team.
  • Have the security of working for the Lake District National Park and enjoy all of the employment benefits entailed competitive rates of pay, generous pension contributions and a friendly working environment.
What's it like to work here?

  • Our cafe outlets, Garden Shed and Lakeshore Cafe opened in the Summer of 2018 and have become very popular on site. The offerings of hot and cold drinks for takeaway along with icecream is very attractive for those walking around the grounds or in between the activities on offer.
  • The main Brockhole Cafe is extremely busy and popular with families, looking for hearty lunches and delicious cakes served quickly and with a smile so they can get back out into the grounds and activities.
  • With the Lake District now a designated World Heritage Site, this is a fantastic opportunity to make a significant contribution to the main visitor centre for the Lake District National Park, currently visited by over 300,000 people per year.
