Jobs are on offer involving wine and fine Pennine views...

Holmfirth Vineyard and Restaurant is recruiting 14 members of staff as it looks to bounce back following a devastating fire back in October.

The visitor attraction is looking for a general manager, a vineyard assistant, three tour guides, five front-of-house staff, two apprentice chefs and two sous chefs.

The family-run firm is hoping to reopen in May with better facilities for the 35,000 visitors a year.

The plans would mean a larger wine tasting areas and a bigger kitchen to the restaurant.

“We want to be a centre of excellence for wine, food and wine tours in the UK. We want to come back bigger and better and to turn a negative into a positive.”

The facilities are being extended in order to better cope with visitor numbers, she added.
