I applied online. I interviewed at Hotel du Vin (Henley on Thames, England) in May 2025
Interview
Nice bloke, easy interview, basic questions assessing competency, best to be honest and upfront. Asked generic questions to assess ability to work as part of team, pick up new skills etc
I applied in-person. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Hotel du Vin (Winchester, England) in Nov 2025
Interview
Easy and pleasant. Mostly just about the role. More descriptive than the job ad. Very pleasant chat and enjoyable. Not too anxiety inducing. Would happily interview with them again. Nice tour of the venue as well
Interview questions [1]

Would you be able to work xmas day - requirement as seasonal position
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Hotel du Vin (Edinburgh, Scotland) in Mar 2025
Interview
Never heard back - complete waste of time. It wasn't even a proper interview; just asking about availability and previous experience. Was not given an opportunity to 'sell' myself, so I assume they were just looking for candidates with the most flexibility. The interviewer seemed disappointed that I wasn't familiar with Opera software, despite previously having worked in a similar position and used a rival software.
