Join Our Friendly Café Team
The Greenhouse Business Centre in Annfield Plain is home to a thriving community of local businesses, offering modern offices, meeting spaces, and a welcoming business lounge. At the heart of it all is our Greenhouse Café — serving freshly prepared breakfasts, lunches, and refreshments to our tenants and visitors throughout the day, as well as providing catering for meetings and business events.

We'll give you all the training you need to succeed.
You'll Fit Right In If You Are
- Friendly, helpful, and enjoy working with people
- A team player who's happy to get stuck in
- Reliable and take pride in doing a good job
- Willing to learn and follow food hygiene and safety standards
Why Join Us?
- Supportive, welcoming team environment
