We are looking for Kitchen Porters to join our passionate Kitchen team in both our Thyme Restaurant – The Ox Barn, and our award-winning Village Pub – The Swan.
Thyme is a restored historic Cotswold manor and farm, a thoughtful place with love and attention lavished on every detail. It is a family story where a passion for the land, food and entertaining, merges with a love of local heritage, beauty and conservation. We have unique rooms, a spa, a cookery school, restaurants and a farm where we grow our vegetables, fruit & herbs. We have a love of the land at our heart.
Rooted in a passion for the local land, food and entertaining, our carefully curated menus tell a story of the farm and seasons. Led by Charlie Hibbert, the chefs and gardeners work together to select and grow the produce used to create our menus. A sustainable ethos is at the heart of our kitchen and our menus change in response to the produce in our four-acre kitchen garden, in addition to using lamb, hogget and mutton from our Welsh black mountain sheep.
