Britain's highest pub on the hunt for new staff - and there's one major perk

Bosses at The Tan Hill Inn in Swaledale, North Yorkshire, are looking for housekeepers, bar staff and managers, with ‘the best view in Britain’ being one of the perks.

The famous pub, which stands 1,732 feet above sea level, is as well known for its altitude as it is for its enforced lock-ins during heavy snow.

And with tens of thousands of visitors each year despite its challenging setting, the Tan Hill Inn is now on the hunt for extra staff to help out.

Andrew Hields runs the pub along with The Green Dragon Inn at Hardraw and The Station Inn at Ribblehead, which comprise the ‘Famous 3’ in the Yorkshire Dales.

He said the pub’s location means they’ll even provide free accommodation for the days staff are working.

He said: ““The Tan Hill Inn is internationally renowned and we are constantly welcoming visitors from around the world.

“It’s a picture perfect location – no light pollution, stunning countryside and a really special place where we offer a fantastic experience.

“We’re hoping that backdrop – and the strong packages we can offer staff – will appeal to people either currently working in the industry or looking for a start.”

The pub wants to hire housekeepers, bar assistants and front-of-house managers for both the Tan Hill and The Green Dragon, with training on offer who those without experience.

There are currently eight roles available.

Andrew added: “We recognise that for a lot of people travelling to and from the pubs each day is not easy, which is why we have specific shifts such as four days on followed by three days off,” he said.

“We give accommodation for the days they are working and then that gives them three days when they can return home – which we also believe offers a great work/life balance."
