We welcome friendly, enthusiastic and talented natural leaders to join our family to coach, motivate and inspire our talented kitchen team at our new opening.

At Caravan we are dedicated to hard work and having fun while we are doing it. We want our team to grow, and invest in staff training and development for our people. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who is ambitious, providing potential for development.
Who we are…
Our food concept is “well-travelled”, which means that whilst the food we use is local and seasonal, we take influence from our travels and combine international flavours to create dishes with bold, interesting flavours.
Our menus are designed with an emphasis on small plates designed for sharing. This dining concept lets the guests choose from a great variety of small plates enabling them to maximize their dining experience by trying a number of dishes rather than the traditional starter/main concept.
All aspects of what we do are hugely important; the food and drinks, the cool warm atmosphere, roasting the perfect coffee and delivering it all with casual excellence.
