Food & Beverage at The Carnegie Club

Our Food & Beverage waiting team prepare beautiful coffees, mix ice-cold G&T's and serve delicious meals to our members and guests.
As one of the largest departments at the Club, the Food & Beverage team are a friendly, enthusiastic bunch of all ages and levels of experience, from both the local area and further afield.
Working across the estate, this dynamic team provides food and drinks service in a variety of locations. From breakfast and afternoon tea in the castle to lunch at the golf clubhouse, our butlers may also be asked to provide refreshments at, for example, the clay shooting range or up on the moorland to the north of the estate. Every day is different!
At The Carnegie Club, we recognise that happy staff equal happy guests. There are no split shifts so you can enjoy a healthy work/life balance.

About the role

Our senior waiting staff – known at the Club as Butler Rank 3 – are a key part of the club's Food & Beverage team, and with their experience and impeccable attention to detail are central to delivering the Skibo experience to our guests.
Working alongside your colleagues in F&B and other departments including the Kitchen and Front of House, you'll assist with food and drink service at the Club. Depending on your shift, that might mean serving breakfast in the castle, taking lunch orders at the Clubhouse or serving dinner.
You might also be tasked with preparing the dining rooms for service, offer guidance to guests picking a suitable wine to accompany their meal, as well as general departmental assistance.
As senior waiting staff, you will support the training of new team members through shadowing where you will lead by example.
If you would like to develop your career at the Club, the next steps within the F&B department would be to progress to Restaurant Supervisor and then to Restaurant Manager.

Who we are looking for

You're a team-player and enjoy working alongside colleagues in what can be a fast-paced environment.
You hold an SVQ level 2 in hospitality and/or have experience working in a 3*+ hotel, private club or similar establishment.
You have experience in a variety of food service styles including A la Carte, banqueting and silver service.
You also have a comprehensive knowledge of fine wines, cocktails and spirits.
You have excellent interpersonal skills and are professional and polite, able to communicate with both your fellow team members and the Club’s guests. You inspire your colleagues with your dedication and positive attitude.
As The Carnegie Club welcomes members from all across the world to Skibo, the ability to speak a second language is desirable.
