At Honesty Group, we believe hospitality should feel honest, welcoming, and full of care — whether that’s through a perfect sourdough loaf, a well-poured pint, or a kitchen that runs smoothly behind the scenes.

The Hartley Arms is a pub rooted in community: good food, good people, and genuine hospitality. No gimmicks. Just quality ingredients, warm service, and a team that looks after one another.

Everything we do is built on teamwork. And that includes the kitchen.

We believe every role matters. A strong kitchen porter keeps the whole kitchen moving and plays a huge part in delivering great service.

You’ll be joining a supportive team where hard work is noticed, people are respected, and opportunities to grow are real.

Many of our chefs and kitchen leaders started in junior kitchen roles — we love developing people who care and want to learn.

As Kitchen Porter, you’ll help keep the kitchen running smoothly, safely, and efficiently every day.

Your role will include:

• Washing dishes, cookware, utensils, and kitchen equipment
• Keeping kitchen areas clean, organised, and safe throughout service
• Supporting chefs with basic food prep when needed
• Helping with deliveries, stock organisation, and storage
• Taking pride in cleanliness standards and food safety procedures
• Assisting with waste disposal and recycling
• Working closely with the kitchen team during busy services
• Helping maintain a positive and hardworking kitchen environment

• Reliable, hardworking, and positive
• Calm under pressure and happy working in a busy environment
• A team player who’s willing to jump in and help
• Someone who takes pride in doing things properly
• Respectful toward people, food, and the space you work in
• Keen to learn and develop new skills

No previous experience is required — attitude matters more to us than background.

• Full training and support
• Free meal on duty
• 20% discount across Honesty Group sites
• Opportunities to progress into chef roles and wider kitchen development
• Discounted courses through our Cookery School
• A genuinely supportive working environment

There’s no fixed path at Honesty Group.

This role could lead to:

• Commis Chef
• Chef de Partie
• Bakery or Production roles
• Kitchen leadership opportunities in the future

We believe in promoting from within whenever we can.

We’re committed to creating a workplace where everyone feels welcome, respected, and supported.

We’re proud to be age-inclusive, disability confident, and focused on building diverse teams.

Send us your CV along with a few lines about yourself and why you’d like to work with us.

We’d also love to hear what “honesty” means to you.
