Join Our Team and Bring the Balgownie Vibe to Life!
At Balgownie Estate, we don’t just pour wine and serve food — we create memorable moments that surprise and delight our guests. We’re all about genuine hospitality, good laughs, and delivering those little ‘wow’ touches that make people come back again and again.
Right now, we’re on the lookout for vibrant Food & Beverage Attendants and Bar Attendants who love people, know how to have fun while working hard, and thrive in a team that feels more like family. If you love making someone’s day, we want to hear from you!

* Take orders with a smile and deliver them just as guests imagined (or even better!).
* Notice the little things — top up drinks, check in often, and make everyone feel at home.
* Keep the restaurant and event spaces sparkling, organised, and ready for anything.
* Work the POS, handle payments accurately, and upsell delicious extras when you can.
