We think we are a slightly different employer from most other hospitality venues - here's what we think sets us apart.
We pay at least 50p above National Minimum Wage and we don't discriminate against younger employees - if they are doing the same work as adults we pay them the adult rate
Stable shifts for the summer and winter seasons
- We know working in hospitality can be unsociable and is often exploited. We share out our evening and weekend shifts as much as we can, offering everybody at least 1 day off a week and 1 weekend off a month.
- Once the rota is set for the season we rarely ask you to change your working pattern.
Long term employment
- 93% our staff have been with us for over 10 months
- 70% for more than 3 years
- 50% for more than 5 years
Training and development
- All staff are offered fire, food hygiene and first aid training when we deliver it
- Leadership training, NVQs and other forms of extra training and qualifications are offered where appropriate.
- Many of our staff are now actively involved in the business management / decision making processes.
- We welcome new ideas and suggestions for how we can improve and encourage those with the skills and capacity to become more involved in the business
A sustainable business
- We try to run the business so that it provides a high quality service to our customers, provides good employment conditions for our staff, is a valued part of our community and doesn’t damage the environment in the process.
- 100% of our heating is from sustainable wood pellets
- We offer lots of vegetarian and vegan options on our menu, using local or ethical suppliers wherever we can, including local farms associated with our owners for beef & lamb and salads & vegetables
- We use local contractors and support the local economy as much as we can
