Working at The Grove

Working in a pub is varied, hands on and sometimes busy. Teamwork makes all the difference, whether you’re helping a colleague, preparing a customer’s food or making sure everything is clean and ready for service.

We value punctuality, a positive attitude and attention to detail. We’re looking for people who communicate clearly, follow instructions and notice what needs doing rather than always waiting to be asked.
