Catering Manager

40 hours a week - 3 month rotas

Maternity Cover and possibly beyond!

Dewsall is an unequalled exclusive-use venue just 6 miles south of Hereford City.

We are accomplished and imaginative when it comes to throwing parties, weddings or events; bestowing individuality with impeccable service for an unforgettable event in the ultimate celebration house.

Every event at Dewsall Court is unique, but each of our weddings and events requires professional, friendly and attentive service of the highest standard.

The role of Catering Manager is to work with the couples or clients to develop their food and drink plans for their time at Dewsall. Good, in-depth food knowledge is a must! We begin working with couples from their tasting event, where they join us to try a selection of seasonal dishes, to help them on their food journey. You will liaise with the couple, developing their choices, ensuring that they are within their budget but also upselling courses and drinks items to increase business revenue.

When it comes to the event days, you will be onsite all day for the couples arrival, to ensure that the wedding breakfast set up is going smoothly and to greet the houseguests with a delicious welcome supper. On the wedding day, you will be onsite before the ceremony to start setting up for the drinks and canape reception, and then monitor our impeccable food and drink service through the day from canapes to evening food service, ensuring the highest of standards are offered to the guests for the duration of their stay.

The work pattern follows a 2 week rotation, one week admin-based office work, followed by the event week the following week.

Each event at Dewsall is beautifully pieced together to suit our clients so if you would like to be part of a unique experience and can deliver friendly, attentive service we would like to hear from you
