Our roles
Owd Betts has been serving Rochdale for generations, as a proper country pub serving up good food, great pints, and making memories for guests and staff alike. We’re always on the lookout for people who can bring energy, reliability, and a smile to our team.
Front of House
Our front of house team are the face of Owd Betts. From greeting guests with a smile to serving food and drinks, you’ll be the one making sure every visit feels special. Its a fast-paced role, especially on busy weekends, but it’s also rewarding - you’ll get to know regulars, work closely with incredible people, and get the satisfaction of knowing you’ve helped customers leave with a smile. Some of our front of house team have even made lifelong friendships and travelled the world together; so if you’re cheerful, reliable, and confident talking to customers, you’ll fit right in our friendly team.
Kitchen
Behind every plate that leaves our pass is a busy team that keeps things ticking. Working in Betty’s kitchen means helping prepare and cook proper pub food to a high standard. It’s busy, hot, and full-on at times, but it’s also where you’ll pick up real skills, work shoulder-to-shoulder with a tight crew, and see your hard work pay off as dishes head out to happy customers. We’ve got roles ranging from potwash to kitchen porter to chef de partie, so whether you’re looking to get started or if you’re already a seasoned chef - there’s a place for you here.
Supervisory/Management
Our supervisors and managers keep Owd Betts running smoothly day in, day out. From leading shifts to training stafff and making sure service stays sharp, this role is more than just keeping an eye on things - it’s about setting the standard. You’ll be hands-on, jumping in wherever needed, and able to set a good example to your staff.
We periodically recruit for positions in supervisor and assistant/restaurant manager roles, as well as promoting from within our existing team. If you’re confident leading people in a busy environment, can motivate others, and handle pressure, all whilst keeping a smile on your face, this might be the career for you.
