JOIN THE WILD OVEN
WORK WITH US IN 2027
Good food. Big feasts. Brilliant places.
We’re building our team for the 2027 season, starting Spring 2027, and we’re looking for good people to join us.
From weddings in Cotswold fields to big celebrations and events, no two Wild Oven days look quite the same. We cook over fire, feed a lot of people and work together to make the whole thing happen.
Some roles are mainly weekends and perfect alongside other work. Others are regular roles behind the scenes, helping us prep, pack and get everything ready to roll.
Interested? Send your CV to Danni and we’ll set up a chat.
GOOD PEOPLE. GREAT FOOD. BIG DAYS OUT.
Who We're Looking For
Bookings & Events Lead
24 hours across five weekdays · £17.50 per hour · Billesley
Early 2027 start · Some evening and weekend work for selected events
Good food gives people a reason to get together. We’re looking for someone who’ll help our clients bring their people around the table and enjoy the day as much as their guests do.
You’ll be their main point of contact from first enquiry to event day. You’ll help them picture their wood-fired feast, turn enquiries into bookings and make sure our event team has everything they need to bring it to life.
If you’ve worked in events or hospitality, make people feel at ease and enjoy getting the details right, we’d love to hear from you.
EVENTS TEAM
Mostly weekends · Spring to Autumn
The people who bring Wild Oven to life on event days.
You’ll help set up, serve feasts, look after guests, clear down and generally get stuck into whatever needs doing.
You don’t need years of hospitality experience. We’re more interested in people who are friendly, reliable, happy working as part of a team and aren’t afraid of a busy day.
Perfect if you’re looking for flexible weekend work alongside another job, university or other commitments.
Chefs
Mostly weekends · Spring to Autumn
We’re looking for chefs who enjoy generous, ingredient-led food and want something a little different from a conventional kitchen.
You could be prepping for the week ahead, cooking from one of our Defender Kitchens or feeding hundreds of guests at a wedding.
Experience matters here, but so does attitude. We want calm, capable people who care about the food they send out and enjoy working as part of a team.
DRIVERS
Mostly weekends · Spring to Autumn
Our Defenders, equipment and food all need to be in the right place at the right time.
We’re looking for confident, responsible drivers to help with deliveries, event logistics, loading and getting our mobile kitchens safely to and from events.
There'll be some early starts, some late finishes and some very good views along the way.
Kitchen Team
Week day food prep + resets
Not every Wild Oven job happens in a field.
Our kitchen team is what makes the events possible.
We’re looking for people to help with food prep and our all-important resets: unpacking after events, washing and organising equipment, restocking, repacking and getting everything ready to head back out again.
If you like being organised, working with your hands and the satisfaction of putting everything back exactly where it belongs, you’ll fit right in.
Experience matters here, but so does attitude. We want calm, capable people who care about the food they send out and enjoy working as part of a team.
PAY THAT REFLECTS THE JOB
Responsibility, not age.
We don't think two people doing the same job should be paid differently simply because of their age.
Our pay is based on the role, responsibility and experience you bring.
Rates from £13.25 per hour.
For eligible irregular-hours and part-year roles, this rises to £14.85 per hour including 12.07% rolled-up holiday pay, so you receive it as you work.
As your responsibility grows, your pay does too.
FANCY IT?
COME AND HAVE A CHAT.
You don’t need to know exactly which role is right for you.
If Wild Oven sounds like somewhere you’d like to work in 2027, send Danni your CV and a few lines about yourself, what you're interested in and your availability.
We’ll take it from there.
GOOD PEOPLE. GREAT FOOD. BIG DAYS OUT.
See you in the field.
