WE ARE HIRING

If you live in Winchester and enjoy your food and drink, chances are you’ve already been to Cabinet Rooms. We’re an award-winning, independent café-bar based opposite the theatre and are best known for our cosy, welcoming atmosphere and our classic cocktails.

It’s an exciting time as we reopen and we’re expecting to be busy at weekends, which is why we’re now looking for a new bartender to join our team.

Read on for more details including how to apply.

COCKTAIL BARTENDER

If you have hospitality experience and are interested in wines, spirits and making drinks this role is a great opportunity to learn and develop your skills. We’re 100% independent, with complete control over what we sell so developing drinks and menus is an ongoing project you can be a part of.

It’s hard work too so you’ll never be at a loss for things to do. Busy weekend evenings will definitely keep you on your toes but you’ll enjoy being a part of a small team looking after a mature, discerning clientele with high expectations.

This is a role you can make your own if you have a genuine interest in learning new things. You can be a part of our creative and inclusive community and stamp your mark on the place in the long run. You may even want to make a name for yourself and hone your bar tending skills to enter competitions with our support.

We want to hire someone who’s got a great attitude, work ethic and lots of potential because as the world returns to normal there’ll be the opportunity to progress and take on more responsibility.
