🔥 EXCITING NEWS – CUSHTY CAFÉ IS ALMOST READY! ☕🍳
While we undergo some exciting changes to the Market Tavern over the next couple of weeks, we’re also getting very close to opening the doors to our brand-new Cushty Café!
We want Cushty to be exactly what the name says – warm, cosy, relaxed and welcoming, complete with a lovely log burner for those cold winter mornings. 🔥☕
Our menu won’t be massive.
The plan is to keep it small, simple and done properly – good breakfasts, lunches and proper homemade-style café food without trying to offer 100 different things.
The café and pub will operate as separate areas, but we’ll also be introducing a small selection of easy pub food/snacks that can be ordered in the bar – things like sandwiches, chicken & chips in a basket and other simple favourites.
We’re not looking to turn the main pub into a restaurant; we want it to stay a pub! 🍺
👨🍳 WE’RE ALSO LOOKING FOR A COOK!
We’re looking for an experienced, reliable cook who would like to take the reins in the kitchen and become a big part of getting Cushty Café up and running.
Ideally, we want someone who: • Has previous kitchen/café experience
• Is confident working independently
• Takes pride in serving good-quality food
• Is reliable, organised and clean
• Would enjoy helping us develop the menu and grow the café
There’s a real opportunity for the right person to make the kitchen their own and grow with us from the beginning.
📩 Interested? Drop the Market Tavern page a private message with a little about yourself and your experience.
More details, opening date and the first Cushty Café menu coming very soon! 👀🔥☕
Market Tavern, Aberdare
