We specialise in farmhouse & artisan British produce, not just cheese, we also stock a wide range of locally sourced charcuterie, hot sauces, preserves, pickles, olives and so much more…

We also have an eat in menu focused around sharing boards, warm focaccia sandwiches & small plates, so it’s a real mix of casual eat in dining and takeaway retail.

In addition to this, we offer an evening menu as we shift from ‘Café / Cheese Shop’ to ‘Cheese Bar / Bistro’ with fondue, wine on tap, local craft beers & cocktails.

Our venues are all intimate settings with around 25 covers & we’re big on offering regular specials so there’s always room to get creative - we also have our own bakery, so you’ll be working with the freshest bread & bakes.

In this role you would be assisting the owners in day-to-day operations of the business, managing a team to deliver excellent service & a memorable experience for our guests as well as aiding with BOH management.

Full training will be provided at our sister site in Pudsey.

A mix of daytime & evening shifts are available as we aim to offer a nice work / life balance.

If you’re passionate about customer service, good food / drinks & want to join a small independent team where your voice is heard, then we want to hear from you!

Start date January 2027, starting with a 2-4 intensive training period.

+ Free meals on shift / 50% Employee discount for you, your friends & family / Regular staff socials / Constant sampling of new tasty products.

As a small business there’s also plenty of opportunity to get involved in menu development, social media content, design, event planning or anything else you feel could add value.

We have big plans to keep growing & we feel now is the right time to bring in people to join us for the ride - the idea is very much to promote from within, with huge progression opportunities for the right person.

Experience is required in a similar role, but would also be ideal for somebody looking for a change or that’s ready to make a step-up in their career.
