We are a friendly, locally-owned business with a good local reputation and a strong tourist trade. We make good quality food out of local ingredients and are increasingly becoming known nationally as a wonderful day out for a family. Opening hours are mostly 9am-5pm, 7 days though we have an ambition to do evenings in the summer.Operationally, the site is running smoothly with a strong team.
This is an exciting opportunity to run the cafe and manage a friendly hardworking team.
We are looking for someone experienced in running a busy restaurant or hotel and managing staff.
