Buzzworks is proud of its nine consecutive years on the ‘Best Companies to Work For’ list.

Hospitality group Buzzworks has launched a major recruitment drive in Edinburgh as it prepares to open its fourth Herringbone venue in the east of Scotland.

Last month, the operator revealed plans to expand the popular bar and restaurant concept to the Barnton area this spring, following on from the success of venues already operating in Abbeyhill, Goldenacre and North Berwick.

The group – which has been named one of the best companies to work for in the UK – is now on the lookout for new team members, including front-of-house, kitchen operations and senior chefs.

To that end, the venue will be hosting Recruitment Open Days for a range of roles on Thursday 20th, Wednesday 26th and Thursday 27th March, from 12pm – 6pm at Herringbone Goldenacre.

Anyone interested in a role at the venue can pop in at their leisure to find out more, with no prior booking necessary.
