Job Details

Restaurant Manager - Nationwide

With the majority of our guests spending most of their day in the club, food is an integral part of their holiday and our team of waiters and waitresses, led by our Restaurant Manager, are at the forefront. The club has one main restaurant along with four bars which together serve breakfast, lunch, dinner and a variety of snacks at various points during the day.

THE PELIGONI RESTAURANT

Breakfast is a balance of healthy options and old favourites. Early-risers and families with young children typically start arriving for breakfast from 8am. Service continues throughout the morning with guests surfacing at different times and having either a relaxed breakfast or a quick bite before heading out on a paddle board.

Lunch starts from midday and is one of the busiest times of day – during peak season we host as many as 300 guests over lunchtime. 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. The lunchtime menu focuses on family dining, offering something for all, including delicious tapas style dishes, healthy superfood salads, juicy burgers, fresh fish done simply, thin crust pizzas loaded with generous toppings and locally-inspired sharing plates.

Evenings at Peligoni are a unique affair with something different happening each night and the restaurant will be transformed according to the day’s theme. Dinner is usually more formal than lunch and the service offered will reflect this. During peak season, the restaurant might host up to 130 guests in the evening and our twice-weekly Party Nights are always extremely popular – one of these always has a fancy dress theme and staff are encouraged to join in the fun.

In addition to our club food and beverage offerings – with a growing collection of beautiful properties on offer – we also provide a villa host service which allows guests the opportunity to indulge in some fantastic homemade food without having to leave the comfort of their villa. The restaurant team also have the opportunity to assist our Villa Hosts providing a fantastic in-villa service with one of our tailor-made hampers filled with pre-made or ready to cook dishes. This involves assisting preparing dishes, serving meals and cleaning up afterwards, allowing guests to make the most of their precious holiday time.

From time to time, the club hosts some fantastic events, from elaborate weddings for 200 guests to intimate milestone birthday parties, we encourage all of our team to get involved!
