Overview
There has never been a better time to join the Offbeet team. We opened the doors of our new restaurant at The Retreat New Forest (former East Close Hotel) in September 2021 and the feedback has been fantastic. We are now working on our second venue in Southsea and the relaunch of our Cookery School.
This role is at Offbeet The Retreat New Forest, take a look at our website and menu for more information about the food and drink we offer. As a vegan establishment, we are striving to be one of the best vegan eateries in the World (we like to think big!). We are therefore looking for people with a passion for plant based cuisine.

Hours of work – Full time (40 hours per week) and part time hours available. The restaurant is currently open for lunch (Saturday and Sunday) and evening meals (Thursday to Saturday) but we do hope to increase this as we grow our team. Therefore you will be required to work a variety of hours on a rotational basis, including weekends and bank holidays.
Salary – We offer a competitive starting salary with scope for personal development and regular reviews.
Your role will include:
- Serving food and drink to customers, clearing and resetting tables.
- Taking customer orders, payments and bookings.
- Setting up and closing down the restaurant areas including daily, weekly and monthly cleaning duties.
