🍻 WE’RE HIRING 🍻

We’re looking for another pair of hands at The Old Anchor!

This is a flexible, casual position helping to fill gaps in the rota as and when needed. There are no guaranteed hours, so it would suit someone looking for a few extra shifts alongside another job, studies or other commitments.

The role includes:
🍺 Serving drinks
🍔 Preparing simple food
🍸 Making cocktails (training provided)
🛶 Hiring out paddleboards and kayaks (training provided)
✨ Keeping the pub looking its best

We’re looking for someone who is friendly, reliable, happy to muck in and able to keep calm when things get busy. When it’s quiet, we need someone who can spot what needs doing without being asked.

If you enjoy variety, good people and a beautiful riverside setting, we’d love to hear from you.
