Catering Manager - Lanark

Catering Manager - Cairn Lodge Services

Full Time, 40 hours per week

£25,000 - £28,000 per annum, dependant on experience

Good food is at the very heart of everything we do. We believe good food matters. So we serve it where you'd least expect it - on the motorway. We were the first family run motorway services on the UK roads and over the past 40 years have grown to a business which has over 1,000 people working with us over six sites.

We couldn't do anything without our family of people working together to create long lasting positive memories for our customer. We are proud of our difference and we are constantly striving to do it better. We work with people who really care about food and where it comes from and want to share this experience with our customers.

Located on the A74(M) between junctions 11 and 12, Cairn Lodge Services joined the Westmorland Family in 2015. However, 2018 was an exciting year for Cairn Lodge. in Spring we opened a brand new Farmshop with hot and cold Deli, a Patisserie, hot food to takeaway and Barista Coffee. In December we opened our new Kitchen as well as refurbishing the Filling Station. In our Kitchens we make our own food as you would make at home, fresh every day using seasonal and local ingredients.
