We’re heading into a busy season at The Fairfax Arms and we’re looking to grow our team.
If you take pride in your work, enjoy being part of a supportive team, and want to work in a fast-paced but friendly environment, we’d love to hear from you.
We’re currently hiring across the kitchen, front of house, housekeeping, and general site upkeep.
Junior Sous / Senior Chef de Partie
This is a key role within our kitchen team.
You’ll be working closely with our Head Chef to deliver consistently high-quality food during busy service periods. We’re looking for someone who is organised, reliable, and confident running sections independently.
You should be comfortable working with fresh ingredients, maintaining high standards of presentation, and keeping the kitchen clean, efficient, and well-structured throughout service.
There’s also an opportunity here to step up, contribute ideas, and play a bigger role in how the kitchen operates over time.
Front of House Staff
We’re looking for friendly, switched-on front of house team members, with availability across evenings and weekends.
This role is all about creating a great experience for our guests. You’ll be welcoming guests, taking orders, serving food and drinks, and keeping service running smoothly during busy periods.
We need people who are approachable, reliable, and able to stay calm under pressure. Experience is helpful, but attitude matters more. If you’re willing to learn and enjoy working with people, you’ll fit in well here.
Housekeeping
Our housekeeping team plays a big part in maintaining the high standards our guests expect.
This role focuses mainly on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays, with opportunities for extra hours covering holidays and busy periods over the summer.
You’ll be responsible for cleaning rooms and shared spaces, making sure everything is presented to a high standard and ready for guests. Attention to detail and consistency are key.
Outdoor Maintenance Support
We’re looking for someone to help keep the outside of the pub looking its best.
This is a part-time role, typically on Mondays and Fridays, focusing on general tidying, light weeding, and keeping outdoor areas clean and presentable.
No heavy landscaping work is required, just someone who takes pride in keeping things looking neat and welcoming for our guests.
Why Work at The Fairfax Arms?
We’re a family-run pub, and that shows in how we treat our team.
There’s a strong sense of looking out for each other here. We work hard, especially during busy periods, but we do it as a team. Everyone pulls together, and no one is left to struggle on their own.
At the same time, we’re professional in how we operate. Standards matter, both in the kitchen and front of house. We take pride in what we do and in the experience we give our guests.
You’ll be part of a supportive, friendly environment where you’re trusted to do your job properly, given the chance to develop, and recognised for the effort you put in.
