Pasture Bristol is where it all began. The birthplace of Fire, Meat, Music and the beating heart of everything we stand for. With its character‑rich setting, flagstone floors, sweeping staircase, and open kitchen filled with the sizzle of live‑fire cooking, this is more than just a restaurant — it’s a celebration of craft, quality, and connection. From day one, we’ve stayed true to our roots.

We source only the very best suckled native beef from farms across the southwest, all grass‑fed and raised with care. Our in‑house butchers dry‑age every cut for a minimum of 35 days and prepare each steak fresh for service. It’s a level of detail that shows in every dish and defines who we are. Behind the food is a passionate, tight‑knit team, warm, welcoming, and dedicated to delivering unforgettable dining experiences night after night.

Whether you’re stepping into the kitchen, joining the front‑of‑house, or leading service from the floor, Pasture Bristol offers the chance to be part of something truly special — the original flame that started it all.

We’re on the lookout for a confident, welcoming, and highly organised Host to join the Front of House team at Pasture, a high‑energy, fire‑led restaurant known for bold flavours, incredible local produce, and genuine hospitality. We’re looking for someone who ideally has experience working in restaurant reservations, reception, or guest bookings. Familiarity with Seven Rooms (or similar reservation systems) is a huge plus, and you’ll need to be comfortable using email, managing digital waitlists, and updating bookings on the fly.

But more than that, we want someone with real people skills—warm, clear, confident, and genuinely good with guests.

• Greeting every guest with warmth, professionalism, and attention to detail
• Managing walk‑ins, bookings, waitlists, and table turns with confidence and clarity
• Using Seven Rooms (or similar systems) to manage bookings, notes, and guest preferences
• Communicating constantly with the floor team to maintain smooth pacing and maximise covers
• Handling phone and email enquiries with a helpful, guest‑first attitude
• Being proactive and calm in high‑pressure situations, finding solutions and keeping things moving
• Ensuring that every guest feels seen, valued, and excited to be with us

You’re confident, friendly, and always in control, even when the Bar is buzzing. You’ve got a warm and approachable style, love working with people, and naturally make others feel comfortable and looked after. Organisation is your thing, and you thrive in a role that requires sharp timing, great communication, and a problem‑solving mindset. Whether you’re welcoming regulars or helping a walk‑in get seated, you bring energy, professionalism, and heart to every shift.

• The hourly rate shown includes a competitive share of Tronc: 100% of Tronc is distributed to the staff.
• 28 days holiday – including bank holidays
• 20% off food and drink in our restaurants for up to six people
• Opportunity for growth and progression

• 1 day of paid volunteering per year, with a charity of your choice
• Regular staff trips to our farm and to our suppliers
• Employee assistance program provided by Hospitality Action
• Enhanced maternity & paternity pay

In a nutshell, Pasture is about fine dining for everyone, with slick, engaging service, top‑quality food and a team whose knowledge is as strong as its passion.
