Waiter/Waitress

The Crooked Billet is about to start a brand-new chapter - and we want you to be part of the story.

Following a significant investment and an exciting transformation, The Crooked Billet is joining Acorn Pubs, part of the Brunning & Price family, and we’re building a brilliant new team to bring this flagship site to life.

This is much more than a new job. It’s a chance to be there from the beginning.

We’re looking for people who love hospitality, love looking after people and want to be part of creating a pub that feels like it has always belonged at the heart of its community.

Whether you’re an experienced Front of House team member, there’s an opportunity to play a big part in shaping what The Crooked Billet becomes.

We’re investing significantly in the pub, creating a beautiful new space with a fresh food and drinks offer and a completely new identity. And while the building might be getting a transformation, it’s the people who will make it special. You’ll be part of the team welcoming our guests for the first time, creating memorable experiences and helping establish the personality of the pub.

We want people who are naturally warm, confident and curious.

People who notice the little things.

People who genuinely enjoy making someone’s day.

And people who understand that great hospitality is about how you make people feel.

You don’t necessarily need years of experience.

What matters most is your attitude.

We’re looking for people who are:

• Friendly, warm and naturally welcoming.
• Proud of delivering great service.
• Passionate about food, drink and hospitality.
• Energetic and positive.
• Curious and keen to learn.
• Great team players.
• Excited to be part of something from the beginning.

Hospitality experience is fantastic, but personality, enthusiasm and a genuine desire to look after people matter just as much.

Our Offer

• Basic up to £12.71 per hour, plus tronc (that’s your card tips that are paid into your bank).
• Great cash tips.

The Extras

• We know you work hard so we feed you well - free meals on shift, choose from the menu!
• 30% discount for you, your friends and family across Acorn Pubs, Brunning and Price and our group including wagamama and selected airport pubs and restaurants.
• It’s never too early to start saving for the future with a NEST pension.
• Great discounts via Perks on Tap, saving you money on everyday purchases and more.
• £1,000 referral bonus for introducing new Managers or Chefs to the company.
• Wagestream - use flexible pay to choose when to get paid
• Weekly pay - because everyone loves a payday!

Your Wellbeing – it’s important to us

• Free 24-hour confidential legal and information helpline for you and your family.
• Bespoke wellbeing support offering free counselling for all crew.
• Discounted gym membership.
• Plenty of social get togethers – it’s not all work and no play.
• Recognition platform with regular thankyous.

We want you to grow with us

• Superb internal and external development programmes to support your progress.
• Earn while you learn - we partner with national training provider HIT to support our work-based level 1, 2 and 3 apprentices.
• We encourage movement between our pubs so you can have a long-term career with us.

About you...

You have a natural ability to look after people and make them happy and like us, you’re passionate about food and drink. Previous experience in hospitality as a waitress/waiter, bar tender, barista or food and beverage assistant ideally in a pub, restaurant, hotel or bar would be helpful but isn’t essential.

More importantly, you’re hands on with a positive attitude. You’ll bring your life experience to help keep a busy shift calm and collected whilst ensuring you look after our customers in the best way possible.
