Bayberry Hollow is a small, family-run retail and hospitality business established 9 years ago in Tanfield Village, Stanley. Our bistro is known for hearty, home-made food, friendly service, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere that keeps our customers coming back time and again.
Following a recent full renovation, we now operate with a state-of-the-art kitchen, a fully integrated EPOS system, and a refreshed, modern look — but at our heart, we remain committed to the same great service and quality food we've built our reputation on.
We are currently looking for an experienced Server to join our team on a temporary basis until January 2026. This role is part-time, offering 16–24 hours per week, and will include weekend shifts.

* Work closely with the kitchen and front-of-house team to ensure smooth service.
* Uphold high standards of food hygiene, health, and safety.

* Strong communication and interpersonal skills.
* Ability to multitask in a busy, fast-paced environment.
