About The Feathers

The Feathers is a beautifully restored luxury boutique hotel in the heart of Woodstock, Oxfordshire, just moments from Blenheim Palace. Following a multi-million-pound refurbishment, the hotel now offers stunning dining spaces including The Nest restaurant, The Aviary indoor–outdoor terrace, and our elegant bar.

We are proud to be recognised as a Small Luxury Hotel of the World, a Michelin Key Hotel, and home to The Nest restaurant, which holds 2 AA Rosettes.

Our Food & Beverage team delivers warm, attentive service in a refined but relaxed luxury setting, with a focus on beautiful wines, premium spirits, elevated dining, and genuine hospitality.

The Role

We are looking for a friendly and enthusiastic Waiter / Waitress to join our Food & Beverage team on a permanent 35-hour contract. We also have lower hours available too if that suits your situation better.

You’ll play a key role in delivering exceptional service across our restaurant, terrace, and bar spaces, ensuring every guest feels welcomed and well looked after.

Previous experience in a quality restaurant environment (ideally Rosette level or above) would be beneficial, but it is not essential. Full training will be provided and what matters most is a positive attitude, strong attention to detail, and a genuine desire to learn and grow in hospitality.

• Support with afternoon tea, dinner service and special events.

What We’re Looking For

• Some experience in a quality restaurant or hospitality environment is preferred.
• A genuine interest in food, drink and guest experience.
• A confident, friendly personality and great communication skills.
• Strong attention to detail and pride in delivering high standards.
• A team-player mindset and willingness to learn.
• Availability to work evenings and weekends.

What We Offer

• £14.04 – £14.87 per hour including service charge (based on hourly rates from 6th April 2026)

(£12.24 base rate under 21 | £13.07 base rate 21+ | approx. £1.80 per hour service charge based on the past 6 months)

• Permanent 35-hour contract (lower hours available)
• Free meals on duty & uniform provided
• Training in wines, service standards and luxury guest experience
• Complimentary experience stay for you and a guest (dinner, bed & breakfast)
• Birthday celebrations for every team member

• A supportive, friendly team within a beautifully designed independent hotel
