Description
3 years ago, I was a workawayer working with my now ex girlfriend in the exact restaurant and Gites that are now mine!
I came back in 2020 and am building up the business. The restaurant is very seasonal, but very popular. I am looking for help in the kitchen and garden, mowing the lawn, weeding, and hedge cutting. In the kitchen I need help washing up and waitressing/waitering. Also if you're mechanically able, some help with car mechanics.
A good grasp of french would be good but not vital!
I have 2 cats, Croissant and Baguette, baguette is 10 months old, croissant is 13 years old. Clair and Corey, my friends and helpers, have a dog, Rocket, and 2 cats. The atmosphere in the restaurant is very relaxed and calm, but weekends it does become vibrant and have a party atmosphere after 8pm.
Please.excuse.the low.reply rate, I was inundated last year with offers of help, and trying to run this place and answer every one was too much. This year I'm much more organised!Types of help and learning opportunities
