Front of House Team Leader in Burford

We are a bold, award-winning business who pride ourselves in empowering our teams with the autonomy to operate boutique, premium businesses that ‘wow’ our customers within an industry-leading environment. We run friendly, welcoming, and positive pubs, restaurants and hotels with high standards and take a different approach to others; always striving to be the best we can be.

This role encompasses delivering amazing bar and waiting hospitality to our customers and supporting our management team in leading a shift. The Prince Of Burford is a newly refurbished pub and hotel converted from an 18th-century coaching inn, located in beautiful Burford on the north-eastern edge of the Cotswolds. We have 16 stunning ensuite rooms with dog-friendly and family-friendly options available, offering the ideal base for exploring the Cotswolds AONB, the Oxfordshire countryside and historic Oxford.

On the menu, our focus is locally sourced seasonal dishes and exciting takes on pub classics, with a cracking selection of award-winning Butcombe beer, cocktails and wines behind the bar. Inside, you’ll find cosy interiors and rustic pub charm with original features throughout, and relaxed dining spaces for both intimate meals and larger gatherings. We are very dog-friendly and child-friendly, and have a sunny beer garden complete with grassy and decked areas – perfect for al fresco drinking and dining!

If you’re planning a special occasion or event, our private dining room is perfect for all kinds of occasions, from birthday parties to wedding receptions, business meetings and conferences. Located at the entrance to the Cotswolds, we’re the perfect place to enjoy a weekend break or staycation, and a short distance from attractions like Cotswold Wildlife Park & Gardens, Cotswolds Distillery, Cotswold Water Park, Blenheim Palace, Crocodiles Of The World and Burford Garden Company as well as Cheltenham, Oxford, Cirencester and Bourton-on-the-Water.
