Job Description

Assistant Bar Manager

Pasture Cardiff is our bold second chapter -- a true lockdown baby that's grown into one of the city's most vibrant dining destinations. Nestled in the heart of Cardiff, just steps from the iconic Cardiff Castle, the restaurant is built for theatre, energy, and unforgettable nights.



Our open kitchen puts live-fire cooking at the heart of the experience, with charcoal grills and dry-ageing cabinets on full display. On weekends, our resident DJ keeps the energy high late into the evening -- because at Pasture, dining is a show, not just a meal.



We proudly source our beef from pasture-raised cattle across Wales and the South West, working closely with local farmers and producers to bring the best of the region to the table. Our beautiful terrace in the city centre adds a unique alfresco edge -- perfect for cocktails, people-watching, and those long summer nights.



We're looking for passionate, positive, and driven individuals to join our Cardiff crew -- people who thrive in a fast-paced, high-energy environment and are ready to be part of something special.
