Come and work somewhere
you'd never want to leave
The BarnYard is a family-run wedding venue, events space and restaurant set in 150 acres of Kent orchard, and we're growing fast. We're always on the lookout for warm, genuine people to join our tight-knit team, whether that's in the kitchen, out front with our guests, behind the scenes on events, or in the office.
Why The BarnYard
More than just
More than just
a place to work
No two days the same
Weddings, private and corporate events, a busy daytime restaurant, afternoon teas and a flat-out Christmas season. You're part of all sorts of happy occasions here, not just one thing.
A team worth turning up for
Ask the people who work here and it's each other they mention. A crew that looks out for one another, and managers who, by all the reviews, genuinely go out of their way to make this a good place to be.
An office with 150 acres
A natural valley of rolling hills, woodland and orchards. However busy it gets, most people don't get to call somewhere this beautiful their workplace.
Room to grow
We're growing fast, and a growing business means real opportunities. There's room to take on more, learn new skills and build a proper career, not just clock a shift.
