Job Description

About Us:

Tucked away on the high street of Bruton, Somerset, The Prickly Pear is a

Mexican-inspired British pub where high-quality, fresh ingredients and bold

flavours create a very unique and exciting dining experience. Where possible, we

endeavour to source our produce from our dedicated organic market garden

located just a mile away from the venue and the local area in general to ensure

seasonality and sustainability.

The Prickly Pear first opened its doors to great applause in October 2022 before

closing a year later for a complete renovation and refit - a huge and much needed

project which has brought the beautiful building up to modern standards while

maintaining and enhancing its grade II listed visage.

We've built a brand new, state-of-the-art kitchen and bar. We've opened up the

space to be lighter and brighter, perfect for summer. There are two beer gardens,

one of which has a stunning view of Bruton's famous Dovecote. Upstairs has

been converted into a bright and airy events space which has its own bar and a

lazy waiter to deliver dishes from the kitchen.

Our aim for the business is simple: create a profitable, extremely well regarded

hospitality space where everyone feels welcome to come and enjoy themselves.

We are looking for exceptional, motivated individuals to join us on this endeavour and beyond!

With ambitious plans to expand into an online store and private-label produce,

we're seeking a dynamic Assistant Manager to lead our team, drive operational

excellence, and shape our future growth.
