We are a bold, award-winning business that prides itself on offering an eclectic range of innovative, fresh, and seasonal menus that impress our customers within an industry-leading environment. We run friendly, welcoming, and positive kitchens with high standards, always striving to be the best we can be. These high standards rely on a team of great kitchen porters—the heartbeat of our kitchens—without whom we could not deliver!
We are looking for a Kitchen Porter to join our team.
Located in Rowberrow on the edge of the Mendip Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, The Swan is a 17th-century Grade II-listed pub and inn, rich in history and a cozy, welcoming vibe.
A haven for locals, walkers, cyclists, and visitors alike, the recent addition of five boutique bedrooms above the pub, and four dog-friendly rooms in its converted barns (one accessible), makes The Swan an ideal spot for a rural retreat, family break, or staycation.
We’re passionate about great food and drink, with an all-day food offering focused on seasonal local produce, pub classics, flatbread pizza fresh from the oven, and plenty of award-winning Butcombe beer on tap.
In warmer months, our large beer garden is perfect for al fresco dining or soaking up sunshine over a few pints.
Located just 7 miles from Bristol airport and 15 miles from Bristol Temple Meads station, The Swan is an excellent base for exploring Bristol, Somerset, and the Mendip’s walking, cycling, and dog-walking opportunities. Other attractions include Cheddar Gorge, Wookey Hole Caves, Glastonbury Tor, and Ashton Gate Stadium.
