Kitchen Assistant

At Stanlake Park Wine Estate we produce traditional method sparkling white and rosé, and a great variety of still whites, reds and rosé.

We have a Shop and a very busy Wine Bar. We run tours and tastings all year round - they are very popular and always sold out!

This is a busy but also a friendly, cheerful environment.

About the role

We're after someone that would give us a hand on the weekends this summer washing up and helping prepare some basic food (cheese and meat boards and some snacks).

Starting in May or June, working days will be Saturdays 12-8 pm and Sundays 10-6 pm, and occasionally other days/bank holidays if the candidate is interested.

This is the perfect position for a student/responsible teenager looking to make some extra cash while gaining some non-too-stressful experience in hospitality!

• Promote good working practices within the kitchen to public health guidelines
