Food & Beverage Assistant

Macknade creates spaces and experiences that bring communities together around a shared love of food & drink. Encompassing retail, hospitality, events, food service and farming, the Macknade brand has been synonymous with quality and community since 1847. With strong roots in the garden of England and the island of Ischia in Italy, we are on a mission to bring producers, suppliers and consumers closer together in true community spirit.

This is personified by our Café, located at the heart of our Faversham Food Hall, which provides a range of food and drink showcasing our quality produce. Our Café has a bustling daytime trade and a growing evening trade with a variety of events supported by the Front of House team. Throughout the warmer months our fantastic outdoor Food Village offers street style food during the day and into the long, summer evenings.

THE ROLE

Our passionate Front of House team are dedicated to our customers, ensuring they receive our full attention and have a fulfilling, memorable experience. We value our workplace being positive and friendly, where everyone works together as a team and treats each other with respect.

Our F&B Assistant role is perfect for someone with a love of food and drink, and a passion to provide high quality service in all aspects of the role. If you have previous Café or barista experience, this would be preferred.

Perhaps most importantly, we want you to take a genuine interest in the food and drink that we serve and sell within our space, learning every day and sharing this knowledge with team members and customers!

We have various hours available and the hours will include weekends and occasional evening work. The salary is £11.50 per hour and £7.00 an hour for 16/17 year olds.

You will receive 28 days holiday per year (pro rata based on hours) and this includes Bank Holidays.

BENEFITS

We care hugely about the staff who dedicate their time to work for us here, and we also work hard to make life at Macknade the best it can be for all our team, with great perks including:

- Free refreshments and lunch when on shift

- 5 days closure over the Christmas and New Year period

- 20% discount off all products, increasing to 30% at Christmas

- Discounts on gym memberships and physio services

- Regular team social activities throughout the year
