Cook/Housekeeper & Houseman/Maintenance/Driver Couple Sought
Cook/Housekeeper & Houseman/Maintenance/Driver couple sought to look after magnificent rural home near Andover on the Hampshire/Wiltshire border.
Although only one person in permanent residence, the house can be very busy with extended family at weekends. Would best suit a couple who can cope with peaks and troughs of activity and can keep themselves motivated during quiet periods and calm during the busy times!
About the Couple
The couple must be happy working as a team supporting each other, particularly in the kitchen. Enthusiastic and confident cooks would be ideal, catering for decent family meals, sometimes as many as 20 (including children) for lunch, a good fish pie or spaghetti bolognaise... Making jams, freezing garden produce, baking cakes etc would all be much appreciated. Very informal, relaxed family, no serving required.
