About Polurrian On The Lizard
For over a century, Polurrian on the Lizard has welcomed guests seeking an unforgettable escape on Cornwall's dramatic southwest coast. Perched above a secluded beach with direct access to the South West Coast Path, our 48-bedroom independent hotel blends heritage, relaxed luxury, and exceptional hospitality.
Now part of The Loxley Collection, Polurrian is undergoing a £10 million transformation, including a stunning new spa and vitality hydropool with a semi-retractable roof, enhanced leisure facilities, a 120-person events space, additional family suites, and a beautiful new alfresco dining terrace. At the heart of this investment is a newly designed kitchen, driving an exciting food offering inspired by Mediterranean flavours and Cornwall's finest local produce.
Whether guests are joining us for a relaxing spa break, a family holiday, a special celebration, or a memorable dining experience, our team creates the warm, welcoming atmosphere that makes every stay special.
The Role
We're looking for an enthusiastic and personable Bartender to join our Food & Beverage team. You'll be passionate about delivering outstanding service, enjoy working in a fast-paced environment, and take pride in creating memorable experiences for every guest.

It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
