Runner - Nationwide

Our runners are the backbone of our food and beverage team, filling in the gaps in all departments, ensuring everything we serve looks great and keeping our guests happy.

This is a fantastic opportunity to learn new skills and gain a variety of experience in different aspects of the club.

Please note this is a seasonal role offering employment from mid-May until mid-September. 

THE PELIGONI RESTAURANT & BARS

The club serves food and drink all day from our restaurant, cafe and three bars and our runners provide crucial support to these key areas. Each day varies as you may be working over breakfast and lunchtime, covering only dinner in the evening, or on a split shift, allowing you some time off in the middle of the day.

The Rock Cafe is the first area of the club to open each morning as the team welcome guests coming for an early morning water-ski with a delicious hot coffee. This is the main hub for breakfast with a mixture of hot dishes prepared by the kitchen and lighter bites served from the cafe. Fresh juices and smoothies are always popular and there are plenty of requests for the daily specials.

As lunch service begins, the restaurant starts to fill up rapidly and during peak season we host as many as 300 guests over lunchtime, making it hard work but also great fun. Some guests will want a quick lunch before an afternoon sail and some will want to have a more leisurely afternoon over a bottle, or two, of rose. It is the role of our runners to support the waiting team in ensuring that everyone is well looked after and receives the best possible service.

At the same time, our three bars are in full swing. The Yard Bar, close to the beach, is a buzzing afternoon spot, where guests can let their hair down after a day out on the water. The Pool Bar is a great place to hang out at any time of day – guests can swim right up to the bar and enjoy a glass of rose or a cold beer.  

The Driftwood Bar is at the heart of the club and as the sun sets, guests gather here for a sophisticated cocktail before dinner. Evenings at Peligoni are a unique affair and with something different happening every evening, there’s never a dull moment. The most popular evenings are our twice-weekly Party Nights where the bar is transformed into a dance floor – one of these always has a fancy dress theme and staff are encouraged to join in the fun
