🍕 WE’RE HIRING – JOIN THE FRENCH FARM ESTATE TEAM! 🍷🌿
A new season is just around the corner at French Farm Estate, and we’re looking to build a brand-new team to help us kick things off!
Located on beautiful Banks Peninsula, French Farm Estate is home to our pizzeria, garden bar and stunning event spaces. With another exciting season ahead, we’re on the lookout for enthusiastic, reliable and friendly people to join us across all areas of the business.
We’re open to all enquiries and have a range of opportunities available, including:
🍕 Pizza Chefs – experienced or keen to learn the art of pizza making.
👩‍🍳 Kitchen Hands – helping keep the kitchen running smoothly, from food prep to dishes.
🍷 Front of House / Wait Staff – welcoming guests, taking orders and providing great service.
🧹 Casual All-Rounders – clearing tables, washing dishes, helping out wherever needed and keeping things running behind the scenes.

☀️ Summer Holiday & Part-Time Staff – high school students or anyone looking to pick up a few shifts over the summer holidays. No heaps of experience needed, just a good attitude and a willingness to get stuck in!

Whether you’re an experienced hospitality professional, looking for your next challenge, or a student wanting to earn some extra money over summer, we’d love to hear from you.

We’re looking for people who are hardworking, positive, team-oriented and ready to be part of a fun new team. Hospitality experience is a bonus, but the right attitude is just as important!

✨ Interested? Get in touch! ✨
