A note from Toby (F&B manager): “We are so lucky at Avebury as we had a full refurb of the kitchen completed in late 2019. Brand new ovens and all the latest kit. We are really excited to be able to expand our kitchen team to help us in delighting our stone circle visitors with a fantastic, centrally produced menu. Are you looking to develop your skills in the kitchen and work your way up in the catering industry, without having to do long hours, late nights, or Christmas? Then Avebury has the right opportunity for you. We are looking for a dynamic person who can help us to bring the National Trust cookbook to life and help us to grow our offer out of our brand new kitchen facilities. In return we will give you all the training that you need to successfully grow your career within National trust or any other catering business.”
