A note from Toby (F&B manager): “Are you looking to develop your career within hospitality, without having to do Christmas? Then Avebury has the right opportunity for you. We are very lucky to have had a full café refurb completed in late 2019 so have great facilities to match the setting. We are located right in the heart of the Wiltshire countryside just a 20-minute drive from Swindon, 10 minutes from Devizes, Calne and Marlborough and are primarily a daytime operation so no late nights or split shifts here.



What it's like to work here

Avebury is a stunning location with deep historical significance. Each year we welcome thousands of visitors from all over the world. From next spring we hope to have 3 outlets in operation, including the main Circles Restaurant, a pop-up ice cream parlour and the Coach House grab and go on the main road in the village. You will be crucial in supporting the F&B Manager to ensure this all runs smoothly, safely, and provides our visitors to this special place with the best experience possible.


Please note Avebury is on a good bus route from Swindon, as well as only being a 20 minute drive.
