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 ensure there is always plenty of variety for the chefs to use 365 days per year.
We have over 20 Gardeners across our group, looking after gardens the size of at least two rugby pitches if you put them together.
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 all elements of our kitchen gardens, including the management of the garden team who ensure all tasks are carried out within a timely manner. Communication is key, as you will be working closely with our Head Chef with regards to our seasonal produce.
As our Kitchen Garden is open to all our guests, you must be confident to interact with them daily. We also are home to Pigs, Chickens and Quail so some animal husbandry will be required.
Experience of working in a productive Kitchen Garden growing seasonal produce is essential, as your knowledge will support the development of our team.
