The Role

Are you ready to help keep the magic flowing behind the scenes? 

As part of our Buffet Team, you are the engine room of our dining experience. Our Kitchen Assistants ensure everything runs like clockwork so that thousands of families can enjoy a seamless, stress-free meal. 

This is a full-time, seasonal position (40 hours per week), with a fixed-term contract running until 3rd September 2026.

This is a varied "utility" role where you’ll be right in the heart of the action. Whether you’re ensuring the buffet is fully stocked or keeping the kitchen's rhythm going, you’ll be an essential part of the team. 

We provide full on-the-job training, so while experience is great, it’s your warm personality and "get stuck in" attitude that matter most. If you love the buzz of a busy environment and are happy to try new things, you’ll fit right in.

Working Hours & Pattern

To keep our busy buffets moving, this role requires full flexibility. Your schedule will include a mix of straight shifts, split shifts, mornings, evenings, weekends, and public holidays.

For those aged 18+ who are relocating to join us, live-in accommodation may be available (subject to a DBS check)

Your main priority is to maintain the flow of the buffet and ensure our guests always have a sparkling dining environment. 

You will play a vital role in our Pot Wash team, operating machinery and ensuring clean plates, cutlery, and crockery are quickly replenished for our guests.

Beyond the cleaning, you’ll support the culinary team by running and replenishing food on the buffet lines and assisting with minor culinary prep work to keep the kitchen ahead of the rush. 

This is a hands-on, physically active role where you will be on your feet all day, moving between the kitchen and the buffet floor. You will also handle general cleaning tasks to maintain a safe and spotless workspace. You’ll take pride in the detail—because a great holiday starts with a well-prepped kitchen and a perfect plate.
