Kitchen Gardener
Location: THE PIG-in the Cotswolds, Barnsley, GL7 5EE.
About the role
At THE PIG it all starts in the kitchen garden – the team here are the original Home-Grown Heroes of everything we do. The aim is to grow as much produce on site as possible for use in the kitchens. The garden also acts as a show garden for our guests. We aim to use as many parts of the plants as possible, and our garden team ensures there is always plenty of variety for the chefs to use 365 days per year.
Reporting directly to the Head Kitchen Gardener, this is an exciting opportunity for you to join our unique and dynamic team in overseeing the growth and functionality of our kitchen garden. You will be responsible for covering all tasks assigned by the Head Kitchen Gardener, ensuring that the garden is always presentable. As our kitchen garden is open to our guests, you must be confident interacting with them daily. We are also home to pigs, chickens, and quails, so some animal husbandry will be required.
