Your support has been absolutely amazing, not only with voting but in general since we reopened in July.

As many.of you know, Neil & I don't do 'soppy' but I don't think you'll ever realise quite how much the messages, smiles and simple nods of support have meant these last few weeks. Thankyou from the bottom of our hearts xx

Do you want to know whether your vote helped us win?

Then tune in on Thursday 24th at 6pm for @stephenmulhern to reveal the winners via livestream! 👏👏 ... See MoreSee Less

A position has become available for housekeeper/cleaner at this beautiful country Inn at Gayton.

Hours will be 12-16 per week, worked in rotation with another housekeeper. You will need to be available to work alternate weekends and cover each other for holiday/sick. (Ideally you will be disgustingly healthy and won't ever need to be off sick 👍)

You need to be a morning person. It's a fairly early morning start at 8am, so please don't contact me with the perfect CV but saying you can't start until 9am as the role requires you to serve breakfast to our b&b guests from 8.30. ( you don't need to cook it, our chefs do that 👨‍🍳)

You need to be fit and healthy as it's fairly demanding. Never underestimate the sheer graft that is involved in mopping, hoovering, dusting, polishing, making beds, cleaning showers etc. You will break out into a sweat! You will reach your daily 10,000 steps. You will develop muscles.

Good eyesight and thoroughness required. There is a strange sense of triumph in finding a missed cobweb. You may find the odd pickle on a chair 🤷‍♂️ Sunday mornings can be interesting after a busy Saturday night 😂 you will have stories to tell.

Sunny disposition required. Our b&b guests are on a short break, away from the miseries of normality. Make it nice for them with a cheery smile, yes it's early, but you are a happy, morning person so this will be second nature to you.

If you have an irrational fear of chickens, this is not the job for you. Your first job of the day is to let our girls out and check for eggs. They don't bite. Well, they haven't yet 🐔

Disappointingly, the pay won't make you a millionaire. 💰 However, it will keep the wolves from the door at 8.72 ph

Should you actually have a life, you get 28 days pro- rata holidays in order to live it. However, we are a pub/ restaurant/b&b so bank holidays/christmas/ mother's Day etc and weekends are our busiest times and you will need to work some of them.

You need to be able to drive. We are about 7 miles out of king's Lynn and the buses are rubbish.

Your work family. As you will see from our reviews we have a truly fantastic team. We want you to be one of them. They will have your back and are exceptionally fabulous humans who make the chore of having to go to work every day, actually bearable. ( Let's face it, we'd all rather be sunning ourselves on a yacht). 🏖️ But if you don't happen to have a yacht, your work family make that bitter disappointment bearable👍

So! If all that hasn't put you off and you still want to join us, do the following ( this is a test by the way, if you do something different, or go rogue, then it raises alarm bells)

Scribble out a CV showing us where you have cleaned before. Have you done housekeeping before? Tell us about it. How about waitressing, let us know.

Email it with a covering letter, letting us know how soon you can start to lisa@gaytoncrown.com ... See MoreSee Less
