The Old Vic, Canowindra

We’re looking for a confident, friendly Front of House team member to join us at Bessie’s Bar, our new bar and dining pop-up inside The Old Vic in Canowindra.

Bessie’s is relaxed, warm and a little bit different — good drinks, interesting wines, outstanding food and genuinely friendly service. We’re looking for someone who enjoys hospitality and knows how to make people feel looked after without making things feel overly formal.

The role

You’ll be helping with:
Bar and table service
Making and serving drinks
Taking orders and running food
Welcoming guests and creating a great atmosphere
Keeping the bar and dining spaces looking sharp
Helping with functions, group bookings and special events
Working closely with our chef and FOH team

What we're looking for

RSA is essential.

Cocktail-making experience is highly preferred, particularly if you’re comfortable making classics and can work confidently behind a bar.

We’d also love someone who:
Is warm, outgoing and comfortable talking to guests
Has previous bar, restaurant or hospitality experience




Can work independently when needed
Is reliable and calm when things get busy
Takes pride in presentation and service
Wants to help us build something outstanding rather than simply turn up for a shift

Hours

Initially casual / part time, primarily Thursday, Friday and Saturday, with additional hours available for events and private functions.

There is potential for the role to grow as Bessie’s and The Old Vic develop.

About Bessie’s

Bessie’s is a new bar at the historic Old Vic Hotel in Canowindra. We’re currently running it as a three-month pop-up, experimenting with drinks, food, events and opening hours as we work out what the town wants from the space.

Send us a short note about yourself, your hospitality experience and your availability.

Pay: $33.00 – $44.82 per hour

Work Location: In person
