Need chefs? Book temporary and relief chefs through our app. Waiting, bar and wider hospitality staffing enquiries are handled by our recruitment team.

Hospitality staff for Exeter and Devon venues

Tell us the people you need for a hotel rota, restaurant service, wedding, conference, private function or catering event. We will discuss role requirements, availability and booking terms before anything is confirmed.

  • Waiting and front of house: food service, table service, guest-facing teams and hospitality support.
  • Bar staff: bartenders, drinks service and bar supervision.
  • Kitchen porters and support: washing up, kitchen support and the duties agreed in your brief.
  • Supervisors and managers: explain the responsibilities and experience needed for the shift.
  • Housekeeping: hotel and hospitality housekeeping requirements.
  • Event and banqueting teams: staffing enquiries for weddings, functions, conferences and catered events.

For chefs working your event kitchen, use the chef booking app and describe the menu, section and service requirements.

Event staff in Exeter: send a useful brief

For an Exeter event, share the venue postcode, guest numbers, service style and event timetable. A seated wedding breakfast has different requirements from a drinks reception or conference lunch. Include setup, service and clear-down times so the full shift is understood.

Tell us the headcount by role, uniform requirements, reporting contact, staff facilities and parking or access arrangements. Explain who will supervise and any role-specific experience required. We assess the brief with you; we do not promise staffing numbers before checking availability.

Devon hospitality staffing beyond Exeter

For enquiries around Exmouth, Tiverton, Honiton, Torquay, Plymouth, Barnstaple and elsewhere in Devon, provide the full venue location and shift times. Rural and coastal venues should include transport information and accommodation details where available.

Whether you need support for one function or several dates, share the complete schedule early. We can then discuss the practical requirements rather than guessing from a job title or town name.

Hospitality and event staffing in Bristol

For a Bristol hotel, restaurant, wedding venue or event caterer, send the same detailed brief: roles, numbers, dates, service style and venue postcode. Include loading or staff access, parking and the expected finish time, particularly for city-centre or late-night functions.

Looking for kitchen cover too? Visit our Bristol chef booking page and post chef shifts through the app. Our team handles your wider hospitality staff enquiry separately.

Hospitality and event staffing questions

Can I request a mixed team?

Yes. List the number of waiting staff, bar staff, kitchen porters and supervisors required, with the duties and shift hours for each. Our team will discuss what is available.

How far in advance should I enquire?

Send the brief as soon as the dates and venue are known. Short-notice requests can be discussed, but staff availability and travel determine what can be arranged.

What is the route for permanent staff?

Contact our recruitment team with the position, location, salary and working pattern. Permanent recruitment is discussed separately from temporary chef shifts booked through the app.

For chef cover, explore Devon and Exeter, Cornwall and Bristol.
