Visa sponsorship is available for suitable candidates who held a Skilled Worker visa in a hospitality role before 22 July 2025. We welcome applications from candidates with the right to work in the UK, including those already on a Skilled Worker visa seeking a change of employment.
Our Business
We are a family-owned hospitality business with seven unique sites across the UK, including a café in the Cheshire countryside near Northwich. Since 2013, we have built a reputation for warm, welcoming venues, quality food and a genuine commitment to buying local and supporting the communities we serve.
