Join Sussex Event Bars Today
Sussex Event Bars run The Bedford Pub in Horsham: a community pub hosting live music and a full programme of community events. We also provide bar services for outdoor events ranging from 100 – 3000 people throughout Sussex. We pride ourselves on our partnerships with our local communities, working with local producers and breweries and delivering a great drinks range to our customers we are passionate about.
Our pub is open 7 days a week with morning opening for coffee and late opening on Friday and Saturdays with a full programme of events. The pub is currently wet led but we expect our trade kitchen to be finished by May so having a passion for food as well as bar experience is beneficial. Our outdoor events are typically during the summer months on Friday evenings, Saturdays and some Sundays with a mix of daytime and evenings.
We’re looking for team members that bring their own personality to the role, are passionate about the drinks they serve and willing to take on a wide range of responsibilities and learn new skills particularly when it comes to working on our outdoor events.
