At The Hartley Arms, we believe hospitality is about making people feel genuinely welcome. As part of Honesty Group, we’re proud to serve handcrafted food, thoughtful drinks, and warm service in spaces that bring people together.

From relaxed village lunches to weddings, celebrations and private events, no two days are the same at The Hartley Arms — and we’re looking for a Front of House Assistant to join our team.

The Role

This is a varied, hands-on front of house role supporting both our restaurant service and private function events. You’ll be part of a close-knit team delivering excellent hospitality while helping ensure the venue runs smoothly day to day.

Whether you’re serving guests in the restaurant, setting up for a private function, or helping close down after service, you’ll play an important part in creating a warm and memorable guest experience.

Potential Typical Shift Pattern

Hours: 30 - 35 hours per week

• Wednesday: 5:00pm – 10:30pm
• Thursday: 12:00pm – 5:30pm
• Friday: 12:00pm – 6:00pm
  or 12:00pm – 10:00pm depending on business needs and functions
• Saturday: 12:00pm – 6:00pm
• Sunday: 11:00am – 5:30pm

Please note: shift times may vary slightly depending on events, functions and seasonal trade.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Delivering friendly, attentive service to guests in both the restaurant and function room
• Supporting the setup, running and reset of private events and bookings
• Preparing drinks and assisting with food service in line with food safety standards
• Answering phone enquiries and supporting reservations and guest bookings
• Receiving deliveries, rotating stock and completing daily temperature checks
• Keeping front of house areas clean, organised and welcoming at all times
• Assisting with end-of-day duties including cleaning, waste logs, cashing up and lock up

What We’re Looking For

• A warm, positive and guest-focused attitude
• Strong communication skills and confidence working with people
• Someone reliable, organised and happy working in a busy hospitality environment
• A team player who enjoys varied shifts and supporting events/functions
• Previous hospitality experience is helpful, but not essential — full training will be provided

What You’ll Get

• Regular contracted hours
• Consistent days off — The Hartley Arms is closed Mondays and Tuesdays & only working every 3rd Sunday
• Free meal on shift
• 20% staff discount across Honesty Group
• Ongoing training and development opportunities
• Genuine progression opportunities within a growing hospitality business
