Job description

Oxmoor Farm is a small farm in the Chilterns which is home to The Barn restaurant, a restaurant serving Neapolitan-style pizzas and small plates.

Driven by honest food production and transparency in the supply chain, we believe that eating locally grown, seasonal produce is the only way to eat. Our goal is to make the planet a better place through food and shine a light on the way it is produced, supplied and consumed. The menu reflects our surroundings and the seasons, with all our ingredients coming from neighbouring farms or trusted producers.

The Barn restaurant seeks to embody the rural and cosy feel of the British countryside. It is stylish and relaxed with a combination of indoor and outdoor seating, a large log-burner and a lounge area. We aim to create a ‘home-away-from-home’ space for our guests.

The Barn is a friendly space for the local community to enjoy coffee, patisserie, a glass of wine and honest, simple food.

You'll get to:

• enjoy some of the incredible food our chefs are cooking
• learn some key hospitality skills with on-the-job training
• work in a relaxed environment
• wear what you want
• meet like-minded people trying to do better

We are looking for an enthusiastic and dynamic person, who exudes hospitality, to be a part of our bar team. Previous experience in bars would be advantageous but is not a necessity, all we are looking for is a 'yes, yes, yes' attitude and a willingness to learn. The ideal candidate will have a bright, warm and welcoming mentality, have sufficient knowledge in producing seasonal beverages using locally sourced ingredients and have the desire to create. Barista skills are an added bonus. As a member of our bar team, it is imperative that you can communicate the story of our specially selected menu to our guests.

At Oxmoor Farm you will be a part of this new and exciting project, get to grow alongside our project and learn about the full process of our food and drinks in a unique way.

Responsibilities:

• Ensuring sufficient and efficient opening and closing of the bar by following checklists
• Making drinks orders to the correct spec, in a timely manner
• Making syrups, cordials and other ingredients to spec
• Maintaining a clean and tidy bar throughout service
• Ensuring the necessary stock levels are met for each service
