Join the Team at The Fish Shop Restaurant in Ballater
Rooted in the rich heritage of the Scottish fishing
industry, The Fish Shop Restaurant and Fishmonger in Ballater offers a warm and
welcoming atmosphere for both locals and visitors to this historic Highland
town. With a commitment to authenticity, our unique "catch to plate"
concept is made possible through the integration of our Fishmonger, ensuring
the freshest daily offerings from trusted sources directly inform both our shop
selection and restaurant menu.
Our 40-cover restaurant provides a variety of seating
options—whether you prefer perching on stools at the bar, dining around a
traditional clinker-built fishing boat table, or relaxing on banquettes beneath
a striking wicker sculpture of a school of fish, handcrafted by a renowned
local artist.
We are currently recruiting Waiting Staff to join
our close-knit team. As a key member of our front-of-house, you'll be the face
of our hospitality—ensuring every guest enjoys a memorable experience that
exceeds expectations. You’ll follow our operating procedures to deliver
consistently high levels of service and make each guest feel genuinely valued
and eager to return.
With a strong knowledge of our menu and a proactive
approach to guest interaction, you'll confidently recommend dishes and drinks,
using upselling techniques where appropriate to enhance the guest experience
and support the business.
While prior experience in a similar role is advantageous,
we’re ultimately looking for individuals with a strong work ethic, a natural
flair for customer service, and a genuine passion for hospitality. Most
importantly—be yourself! We celebrate individuality and value what makes you
uniquely you.
We offer:
·
Flexible shifts covering lunch and/or dinner
service—let us know what suits you best
·
Career development and training opportunities
·
A comprehensive benefits package, including
pension, health cash plan, enhanced family-friendly policies, and employee
assistance programme
·
Exclusive staff discounts
·
Plus, days off spent skiing nearby or salmon
fishing on the scenic River Dee
If you’re passionate about great food, great service, and
working in a unique setting that honours tradition while embracing
creativity—we’d love to hear from you.
