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

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.

Bar / Restaurant Supervisor
£13.50 – £14.50 per hour*

We’re looking for a confident, experienced supervisor to help lead the front-of-house team at The Farmers.

You’ll be running shifts, supporting the team, and making sure service stays smooth and standards stay high. When the manager’s off, you’re in charge — keeping things moving and setting the tone for the shift.

  • Tips on top
  • Staff discount across all Chattaway Inns venues
  • Progression opportunities within the group

What you’ll be doing:

  • Running busy shifts from the front
  • Leading the team on the floor and behind the bar
  • Making sure service, cleanliness, and stock are on point
  • Helping train and support new staff
  • Taking responsibility for cash handling and daily operations

What we’re looking for:
