Waiting Staff – The Fish Shop Restaurant, Ballater
Nestled in the heart of Ballater, the Fish Shop Restaurant and Fishmonger celebrates Scotland’s fishing heritage with a unique catch-to-plate dining experience. Sourcing the freshest seafood daily through our in-house fishmonger, we bring authenticity, quality, and flavour to every plate.
The restaurant was very recently awarded a Bib Gourmand at this year’s Michelin Guide announcement and has been declared Best Eating Experience at the Aberdeen City & Shire Thistle Awards!
Our 40-cover restaurant offers a setting as memorable as the food itself—whether guests are perched at the bar, gathered around our clinker-built fishing boat table, or relaxing beneath a striking handcrafted wicker fish sculpture.
We’re now looking for Waiting Staff to join our welcoming team, led by our General Manager, Jasmine Bowles.
What you’ll do
- Be the friendly face of our restaurant, delivering warm and attentive service.
- Share your knowledge of our menu and confidently recommend food and drink.
- Use upselling techniques to enhance the guest experience.
- Follow service standards to ensure every visit is seamless and memorable.
What we’re looking for
Experience in a similar role is helpful, but what matters most is your enthusiasm, reliability, and love for hospitality. We value individuality—bring your personality, passion, and people skills, and we’ll support the rest.
What we offer
- Flexible shifts (lunch and/or dinner service—let us know what works for you)
- Training and career development opportunities
- Pension, health cash plan, enhanced family-friendly policies, and employee assistance programme
- Staff discounts and exclusive perks
- Days off to enjoy skiing nearby or salmon fishing on the River Dee
If you’re passionate about great food, great service, and being part of a close-knit team in a truly unique setting—we’d love to hear from you.
