Assistant Food & Beverage Manager

Organisation: Dalkeith Country Park

Salary: £29,000 per annum (depending on skills and experience) plus tips and excellent benefits

Location: Dalkeith

What we do? Restoration Yard is a truly special place. Just a few miles from Edinburgh and set within the historic Dalkeith Country Park, it’s the perfect place to eat, shop and restore. Visitors can enjoy a quick bite or caffeine fix in the Coffee Bar, enjoy a delicious breakfast or lunch in our restaurant, The Kitchen; browse handpicked fashion, beauty, food and homeware in our shopping haven, The Store; or focus on wellbeing in our wellness space or outdoor sauna. The Park also provides a stunning background for a variety of events and special occasions.

The role? An exciting opportunity has arisen to join our food and beverage management team focussing on the smooth running of The Kitchen – a light-filled dining environment with panoramic views of the River Esk – as well as supporting our other food outlets as required. Working closely with our Head of Food & Beverage and front of house team, the successful candidate will help to deliver efficient daily service, and play an active part in planning and delivering wedding and events. A key aspect of the role is to take a lead in ensuring we consistently deliver high standards of service, creating an exceptional guest experience while supporting and motivating the wider front of house team.

The person? As an experienced hospitality professional, you will have excellent people skills, an eye for detail, and a commitment to the highest standards of service and presentation. You’ll thrive in a fast-paced environment and be able to support and motivate the team during our busiest times. Candidates must have worked at management or supervisory level and have wedding or event experience. Knowledge of food hygiene and licensing regulations are essential.

Why work for us? Unlike many hospitality businesses, we work mostly in the daytime, offering a healthier work life balance and more sociable hours to fit around your life. Colleagues enjoy a range of benefits including 6 weeks’ holiday, private health cover, gym and shopping discounts, cycle to work scheme, and wellbeing support and resources.
