Every Friday, Bristol Food Union rounds up available jobs in food, farming and hospitality, and shares them with budding job hunters looking for work.
We are currently experience a severe skills-crisis in the industry, and experienced chefs or front of house staff are hard to come by. If you have skills and would like to talk about available placement with some of Bristol’s best food businesses, please get in touch.
We aim to share jobs from across the food movement. We focus on ethical employers, concerned with sustainable food, drink, farming or community activism, in or close to Bristol.
