Hi There, We are looking to hire someone for 12 days in December (no Saturdays or Sundays) for a Christmas dinner that we do. We will be serving a 2 course meal (main and dessert) for on average 80 guests each night (it can be up to 120 guests). The majority of the food will be prepped / cooked in the day time and your role would be to help heat and plate up the food alongside our inhouse cook. The shifts will be 4 hours each day from 4-8pm and service will only be 1.5 hours of that the rest will be prep - pay is weekly. The main will consist of turkey and trimmings and dessert is crumble and custard (very straight forward) and so we are looking for someone experienced in a fast pace environment, who is well organised, works well under pressure with a good eye for detail. Thank you. Team Arboretum
