Bartender & Server - The Dorset

Our Bartenders take pride in their knowledge of food, wine and spirits. They build genuine relationships with guests, who often return and ask for them by name. With natural showmanship, strong communication skills and a sharp eye for detail, they create a memorable experience on both sides of the bar.
In this hybrid role, you’ll primarily work behind the bar, preparing beverages promptly and efficiently while upholding O&B standards. You’ll communicate drink descriptions and modifications clearly with your team so every guest receives exactly what they ordered. You’ll also bring the skills to step onto the floor as a Server when needed, guiding guests through the menu, taking orders and delivering warm, attentive service.
