Join the Henry’s family.

We’re a passionate, family\-owned smokehouse doing things the proper way: real fire, real smoke, no shortcuts. Authentic low\-and\-slow BBQ with Southern spirit — and we’re becoming known for international\-level BBQ too. Help us build the future of real UK BBQ.

This is a genuine career role in a business that’s scaling — events, a food truck, nationwide deliveries. The ceiling is high for the right person.

Salary £14\-£16 per hour/£34,000\-£36,000

Who you are

You’re naturally warm, positive and magnetic — the kind of person guests are drawn to from the moment they walk through the door. You make people feel seen and welcome. You remember regulars’ names and orders, and you turn first\-timers into regulars. You’re a brilliant host who genuinely loves creating that “glad we came” feeling.

You’re calm under pressure, proactive and take real ownership. You look after the venue and your teammates, dealing with issues in a steady, solution\-focused way.

You’re excited about hospitality as a proper career. You “get” what makes Henry’s special: authentic low\-and\-slow BBQ, Southern spirit, international\-level cooking, and treating every guest like they matter.

You have over two years’ hospitality experience, a solid understanding of due diligence, basic kitchen operational checks, and strong allergen awareness.

What you’ll do

  • Own opens and closes to the schedule with pride and consistency

  • Lead and support the team so everyone delivers the Henry’s experience

  • Take a lead role in events management and Christmas coordination

  • Have real input into our social media content and presence

  • Take ownership of guest reviews — responding thoughtfully and using feedback to keep raising the bar

  • Drive drinks sales by creating a great bar experience, recommending cocktails, craft beers and American classics, and helping the team upsell naturally

  • Help look after the venue day\-to\-day and handle issues calmly and proactively

  • Support kitchen operational checks and maintain high standards around allergens and due diligence

  • Be the positive, welcoming face that keeps guests coming back
The opportunity

If you want more than just a job — if you want to grow with a family\-owned smokehouse that’s doing things the proper way, with obsessive consistency and true smokehouse soul — we’d love to hear from you.

Real fire. Real smoke. No shortcuts.

International\-level BBQ. Built on the Fylde Coast.

Pay: £34,000\.00\-£36,000\.00 per year
