What do we want?
We’re looking for a poised, welcoming and genuinely attentive Food & Beverage Host to join the team at The Scarlet Hotel. This role is all about first impressions, exceptional service and memorable moments — crafting a serene, seamless experience for adults seeking restorative, refined hospitality.
As a Host, you’ll be the face of our restaurant and lounge spaces, greeting guests, managing reservations and ensuring a smooth, graceful flow of service. You’ll take pride in delivering high‑quality, thoughtful hospitality with consistency and care. Working closely with the wider team, you’ll help maintain a calm, beautifully organised environment where guests feel truly nurtured — and where our RED values are reflected in every interaction.
Responsibilities and Duties:
• Offer a warm, polished and professional welcome to every guest
• Manage reservations and seating with precision to support a smooth, unhurried service
• Maintain clear, calm communication with the kitchen and F&B teams throughout service
• Keep all guest‑facing areas immaculate, organised and inviting
• Work collaboratively to ensure a seamless, restorative guest journey
• Build strong knowledge of menus, wine pairings, daily specials and dietary considerations
• Respond to guest requests with confidence, care and genuine attentiveness
• Bring a composed, positive energy to each shift, even during busy periods
• Engage actively in your own development and support the growth of others
Qualifications:
• Previous experience in hospitality, food & beverage or guest‑facing roles preferred
• Experience in host, reception or front‑of‑house roles advantageous
• A passion for refined hospitality and delivering consistently exceptional experiences
Key Skills:
• Warm, confident and naturally welcoming communication style
• Strong organisational and multitasking abilities
• Calm, professional presence in a fast‑paced environment
• Pride in personal presentation and meticulous attention to detail
• Ability to work collaboratively and support team success
• Willingness to learn, grow and embrace new skills
What we offer
As a family‑owned, independent Cornish business, we value every member of our talented team. We offer a range of benefits that reflect our commitment to making our hotels exceptional places to work:
• £12.71 per hour, plus a share of hotel tips
• A people‑centric working environment
• Learning and internal career progression opportunities
• Permanent contract with 28 days holiday per year (29 after 1 year)
• Long service scheme — enjoy a free stay at Bedruthan Hotel & Spa after your first year
• Enjoy 40% off food and drinks, plus discounts across hotel services
• Local partnership discounts
• Health Shield Healthcare Plan
• Temporary on‑site team accommodation available
Perched on the wild clifftops of North Cornwall, The Scarlet Hotel and Bedruthan Hotel & Spa have long been pioneers in thoughtful, sustainable hospitality — setting the standard for exceptional service and meaningful guest experiences.
