The Role:
We’re looking for a pragmatic Manager to take full ownership of one of our venues. You’ll be the person behind the smooth operation of the entire venue, ensuring every shift, service, and team member works in harmony.

• Follow health and safety procedures at all times, ensuring the wellbeing of yourself, colleagues, and guests
• Handle staffing, recruitment, rotas, and training with confidence
• Drive sales, manage budgets, and maintain profitability
• Be hands-on – this is hospitality, there’s no easy ride, and you should be ready to roll your sleeves up
• Work evenings, weekends, and bank holidays – not all the time, but most of them. Hospitality isn’t a 9-5 office job; we need someone who understands that & thrives!

What We Offer:

• Competitive pay
• Year round work – open 364 days a year.
• Opportunity to run a local-favourite venue
• Career progression and development opportunities within Chattaway Inns Ltd

• Passionate about running a profitable, high-quality business and delivering first-class experiences

Bar / Restaurant Staff
£12.50-£14.00 per hour*

Over 18s only due to licensing laws.

The Farmers isn’t just a pub – it’s a lively, well-loved fixture in the heart of Ulverston. From breakfast or lunchtime catch-ups to packed Saturday nights, we’re proud to be part of the town’s buzzing food and drink scene – and we’re looking for new faces to join our front-of-house crew.

We’re after real people with character. The kind of people who can chat to anyone, enjoy working as part of a team, and bring good energy to a shift. You don’t need years of experience – if you’ve got the right attitude, we can teach you the rest. We can show you how to carry three plates, pour the perfect pint, or handle a busy dinner service. What we can’t teach is how to be a good crack – and that’s what really matters here.

The Role Includes:

• Serving drinks – from pints and wines to cocktails and coffees
• Running food and looking after guests with warmth and confidence
• Being part of a tight-knit team that looks out for each other
• Helping keep the bar, restaurant, and terrace running smoothly
• Playing your part in creating a great experience, every time

We’re looking for someone who:

• Has experience in hospitality
• Knows how to graft when it gets busy – and still have a laugh
• Is reliable, friendly, and happy to get stuck in
• Brings good vibes, solid team spirit, and a sense of pride in the job
• Can work a variety of shifts, including evenings (shifts which can be 5 pm–1 am) and weekends – this is when we’re at our busiest!

What You’ll Get in Return:

• Competitive pay (that grows with experience and effort)
• Fair tip share across the team
• Food and drink discounts
• A chance to grow with us – we promote from within
• A place in one of Ulverston’s busiest, friendliest venues

Whether you’re looking to build a career in hospitality or just want to be part of a great team in a brilliant venue, we’d love to hear from you.

£36k – £40k per year*

We’re looking for a capable, level-headed Sous Chef to help lead the kitchen at Chattaway Inns, in Ulverston – The Farmers + The Rose and Crown. This is a fast-paced venue serving fresh, seasonal food to a high standard.

As Sous Chef, you’ll be supporting the Head Chef in managing the day-to-day running of the kitchen, setting the pace in service, helping train and guide the team, and keeping standards sharp across the board. We’re after someone who’s calm under pressure, confident with ordering and prep planning, and happy to lead by example on a busy pass.

What’s on offer:

• Up to £40,000 depending on experience and attitude
• 4 on, 3 off – because rest matters as much as hard work
• Full holiday entitlement
• Involvement in menu development
• A stable, experienced kitchen team
• Career progression – we’re part of a small, growing group and we reward the right people
• Accessible via bus route

If you’re ready to step up, lead from the front, and be part of a successful kitchen that runs well, this could be the move you’ve been waiting for. We’re not ticking boxes – we’re looking for the right fit.
