Waiter

Role Overview & Responsibilities

The Peat Inn is thought to have been built on this spot in the mid-1700s. Gradually, the surrounding village grew up around the Inn, taking its name from the Inn itself, creating our unusual address: The Peat Inn, Peat Inn.

The original building has served down the centuries as a coaching inn, a hotel, a pub and a restaurant. Through these changing incarnations, The Peat Inn has an uninterrupted history of offering hospitality for around two hundred and fifty years.

Today, it is a Michelin starred restaurant with rooms, welcoming guests who appreciate the very personal experience, excellent cooking and thoughtful service, which are the hallmarks of The Peat Inn. Additionally, in The Residence, eight suites offer the opportunity for a rather special night away, where the pleasures of the table can extend into an overnight stay.
