Join the Team at Counting House Bar & Grill.
We’re looking for an experienced front of house and bar team member to join our crew.

This is a part-time role, perfect for someone who genuinely enjoys hospitality, loves looking after people, and knows how to handle a busy service with confidence and a great attitude.

Hospitality experience is essential. We’re looking for someone who can step into the role comfortably, work well with the team, and provide friendly, professional service from day one.

You’ll need to be available nights and weekends.

What we offer:
* Flexible short shifts
* Staff meals

* A busy venue with a great atmosphere
* Award rates plus weekend penalties

We’re a team that works hard, gets along well, and takes pride in what we do. We’re looking for someone who cares about hospitality and enjoys being part of a strong crew, not someone just chasing a summer job.

If this sounds like your kind of place, send us a message or send your resume to [email protected]; we’d love to hear from you.

We take quality seriously . We recently visited the team at to hand-select and custom-cut this absolute showstopper: our 750g O'Connor Grain-Fed Black Angus T-Bone. (Limited edition)
