For the past nine years, The Half Moon has been built on passion, determination and integrity. ❤️

It has been shaped by talented professionals behind it, who have given their time, shared their knowledge and poured their hearts into doing what they love.

So as every season changes, the next brings new ideas, one chapter ends and another starts….

We’ve found ourselves asking: how can we give something back? How can we inspire young people, nurture new talent and help protect the future of an industry we love so deeply?

And so we’re proud to introduce The Half Moon Academy- building futures through hospitality.

A place to learn, grow, gain confidence and discover where a future in hospitality could lead.

We’ve already filled our 2 Kitchen positions- Level 3 and Level 4 (Management) so we’re on the look out for 1 more amazing person to flourish FOH.

Follow for more information or check out our Website for course details. 🌙

We’re ready for the next journey…
