Restaurant and Bar Host

Scarlet Hotel - Mawgan Porth, Cornwall

£12.71 per hour + share of hotel tips (approx. £1 per hour) | Permanent Contract | Opportunity to increase earnings

Hospitality, without the script.

At Scarlet, we believe the most memorable moments are often the simplest. A warm welcome that feels genuine. A perfectly timed recommendation. A quiet attention to detail that makes every guest feel seen, cared for and completely at ease.

Set above the dramatic North Cornish coastline, Scarlet is a place where thoughtful luxury meets relaxed hospitality. Our restaurant celebrates exceptional local produce, beautiful surroundings and meaningful connections, creating dining experiences that guests remember long after they've returned home.

We're looking for someone who shares that philosophy. Someone who takes pride in making people feel welcome, enjoys working as part of a close-knit team and understands that true hospitality isn't about following a script – it's about creating moments that matter.
