🚽 OUR LOOS NEED SOME LOVE…

We’re looking for a decent local builder/plumber/all-rounder to come and give the toilets at The Kitchen Tap a much needed revamp.

We’ve got a vision of what we want, we just need someone who can come and have a look, give us a quote and then actually turn up and do it 😂

There’s no massive rush and we know decent trades are busy, so we can work around you to get it done.

someone local, reliable, knows what they’re doing and can help us turn our slightly tired pub loos into something stunning!!! 🤩

If you’re that person, or you know someone you’d genuinely recommend, tag them below or drop us a message

The kids are mostly back to school this week… so surely that means we deserve ONE final summer-ish Monday?! ☀️😂

Okay… it’s raining. Obviously. ☔️ But we’re not letting that ruin it!

🍕🍔 MONDAY MATES – JUST £25
Grab your mate, your date, your work buddy… whoever you fancy, and get yourselves down for food & drinks.

Then STAY PUT because it’s OPEN MIC NIGHT! 🎤🎸
Kicking off from 7.30pm and everyone’s welcome — singers, musicians, first-timers, seasoned pros… or just come down for a pint and a listen. 🍻

And if you’ve got absolutely no musical talent whatsoever… bring your tambourine. 😂🪇 We’ll find a use for you.

One last hurrah before normality resumes.
Monday at The Kitchen Tap. Let’s make a day/night of it. 🧡

👨‍🍳 WE’RE HIRING – HEAD CHEF! 🔥🍔🍕🌭

The Kitchen Tap is looking for a Head Chef to take charge of our kitchen and help us keep pushing our street-food style menu forward.

We’re all about proper smashed burgers, loaded fries, pizzas, dogs and big flavours – with an ever-changing menu and plenty of scope to get creative. 🌶️🔥

We’re looking for someone who can run the kitchen, lead the team, bring fresh ideas and keep standards high – but who also loves the fast-paced, fun side of street food.

💰 TAKE-HOME PAY: £550–£650 PER WEEK!

This is a great opportunity for someone who wants to put their own stamp on a busy, independent kitchen and be part of what we’re building at The Kitchen Tap, Buckshaw Village.

Think you’re the one? 👀
Drop us a message with a little bit about yourself and your experience.

Please share – our next Head Chef might be on your friends list! 🙌

🚨🍺 THIS BANK HOLIDAY STARTS NOW! 🍺🚨

Grab a beer. Grab a burger. Sit back and take it all in. 🍔🍻🎶⚽️

☀️ We did order sunshine…
☔️ Unfortunately, it appears to have been lost in transit.

But come on — it’s a Bank Holiday. Of COURSE it’s raining. 😂🇬🇧

If the benches dry out, get yourselves outside. If they don’t… get yourselves inside and grab another pint. 🍺

We’ve got FOOD. DRINK. LIVE MUSIC. FOOTBALL.
And pretty much everything in the middle.

No need to let a bit of British weather ruin a perfectly good Bank Holiday.

Come hungry. Come thirsty. Come for one… stay for several. 😏🍻
