In their own words

About the company & team

As a Kitchen Porter at The Newt in Somerset, you'll play a vital role in supporting our Farmyard Kitchen team. You'll ensure the kitchen operates efficiently by maintaining exceptional standards of cleanliness, organisation and hygiene, allowing our chefs to focus on delivering outstanding food to our guests.

The Farmyard Kitchen feels like a place to gather, food is made for sharing, and the barn setting evokes a comforting, grounded energy. Dishes change with what's available on the estate and seasonality so you're really eating the land. While the setting is rustic, the cooking is thoughtful and elevated not just "farm food," but a chef-driven menu that celebrates the estate's produce and is made to be shared. This is not just a country-house hotel dining option, there's a serious commitment to sustainability, provenance, and seasonality, but delivered in a warm, not overly formal way.

Nestled within an expanse of rolling fields and steeped in ancient history, our luxury country estate stands as a haven of refined elegance, inviting guests to explore acres of captivating gardens, meandering pathways, and enriching exhibitions - accessible 364 days a year for our members. Our hotel extends a warm welcome, offering a home-away-from-home experience where impeccable service flourishes in an ambiance of unassuming sophistication. Beyond the estate, the Newt's essence remains tangible, with our Ecommerce teams delivering our finest products to homes, while media and membership endeavours keep them informed of our latest developments. Behind the scenes, a tapestry of talented teams - from Housekeeping to HR, Finance to Farming - collaborates harmoniously, crafting an unforgettable journey of growth, development, and innovation, where every contribution creates unparalleled experiences.
