Welcome to Team Campo!

Hello!

We’re so happy to have you join the Campo family! We believe that hospitality is about care, for our guests, our food, and for each other. Every person who walks through our doors should feel like they belong here, whether they’re dining, working, or just passing through.

Campo is more than a restaurant. It’s a place where good food, good people, and good energy come together. We started as Campo Blanco, and over time we’ve evolved, but our heart has stayed the same: honest food, great company, and genuine warmth.

Meet the Team

You’re joining a small but mighty team of people who care deeply about what we do and who we do it for. Here’s a little about us:

Aaron & Faye – Owners

We opened Campo because we wanted to create somewhere that feels like home, full of warmth, laughter, really good food and really service. We’re involved in every part of the business, from menu ideas to events, and we want every member of our team to feel part of something special. If you ever need anything, we’re always here to chat.

 Danielle – General Manager

Danielle oversees the day-to-day running of Campo. She’s the go-to for all things team support and customer experience. Danielle makes sure the restaurant runs smoothly, staff are supported, and our guests always leave happy.

Jack – Bar Manager

Jack leads the bar and looks after everything from cocktails, wine beers, ordering and stock management. He ensures the drinks we serve complement our food perfectly and that the bar team deliver great service every time.

Ashley – Restaurant Manager

Ashley assists Danielle in the smooth running of the restaurant and also makes sure every guest is welcomed, served, and looked after. He manages all events and is always there to help you with anything FOH-related (or anything technical related).

Christee – Head Chef

Christee is the creative heart of our kitchen. She designs our menus, leads the kitchen team, and ensures every dish that leaves the pass meets our standards. Christee is passionate about fresh, honest food and loves to work closely with the team to make sure our food always makes people smile.

Liz – Cleaner & Front of House Support

Liz is the unsung hero of Campo. She keeps everything spotless, organised, and guest-ready. From the floors and bathrooms to the little finishing touches that make Campo shine. Liz takes real pride in her work and helps make sure the restaurant always feels welcoming, comfortable, and cared for.

Terry – Maintenance & All-Round Fixer

Terry is Aaron’s dad and the man who keeps Campo running smoothly. He looks after maintenance, checks the bins, fixes leaks, and sorts out any problems that crop up. Always cheerful and hands-on, Terry is part of the heart and soul of Campo, there whenever you need a hand.

Our Values

At Campo, we don’t just talk about our values, we live them every day. They guide how we treat our guests, how we work together, and how we grow as a team:

  • Care: We treat guests and teammates like family, with kindness, patience, and respect.
  • Quality: We take pride in doing things properly, from the food we serve to the way we set a table.
  • Community: We’re proud to be part of Whitefield, supporting local suppliers, schools, and causes.
  • Teamwork: We work as one, always ready to help each other out and share a laugh along the way.
  • Positivity: We bring good energy, stay calm under pressure, and keep the vibe welcoming.
  • Growth: We’re always learning, improving, and celebrating progress, no matter how small.

We’re so glad you’re here. We believe the best teams are made of people who care, and that’s what Campo is all about. We can’t wait to see you grow with us and make your mark here.

Welcome to the family!

Working at Campo

At Campo, we’re all about fairness and opportunity. We welcome everyone equally and treat each other with respect. Full-time means 30 hours or more per week, and part-time is under 30. Your hours will be set around the needs of the restaurant, but we’ll always try to accommodate requests where we can. If you’re ever unsure about shifts or cover, speak to Danielle or Faye.

We provide meals for staff working longer shifts where possible, though on busier days this may vary. Please make sure you arrive on time and ready to start – teamwork depends on everyone being in the right place at the right time.

If you’re unwell and can’t make your shift, please phone the restaurant/ your line manager as soon as possible,  ideally before 10am on the day of your shift. Always try to speak directly to your manager rather than leaving a message. If they’re unavailable, please leave a voicemail explaining the reason for your absence, how long you expect to be off, and a number we can reach you on. If you’re off for more than 7 days, you’ll need to provide a doctor’s note. If you start to feel unwell during your shift, let your manager know straight away so we can make arrangements and ensure you get home safely.

Dress Code & Presentation

We take pride in how Campo looks – and that includes our team. Please arrive in a clean, tidy uniform and take care with personal hygiene. Hair should be neat, nails clean, and jewellery minimal. You represent Campo every time you’re on shift.

Uniform Standards
Front of House & Bar: White shirt, clean apron, jeans & trainers.
Kitchen: Black T-shirt or chef whites, chef pants or shorts, and apron.

Please ensure your uniform and apron are clean. It is your responsibility to arrive presentable and ready to work.

Behaviour, Conduct & Dismissal Rules

We expect all team members to act professionally, respectfully, and as part of a team. Rudeness, dishonesty, or disrespect towards guests or colleagues is never acceptable.

The following behaviours are considered gross misconduct and can result in instant dismissal:

  • Falsifying hours or breaks on timesheets
  • Theft of any kind, including giving out stock for free
  • Keeping tips to yourself
  • Being rude, aggressive, or bad-tempered with staff or guests
  • Mishandling bills, losing money, or discounting without manager approval
  • Using a manager’s till log-in to void or remove items without permission
Food, Drinks & Discounts

Staff Food

You’re entitled to two free dishes per shift as your staff meal. Any extra food must be brought from home or paid for. All food must be put through the system with your name added in the notes. Any high prep or high cost item is not allowed for staff food.

Two-Hour Shower Rule

Front of house staff cannot eat in the restaurant within two hours before or after their shift and must not wear Campo uniform when dining.

Staff Drinks
During shift, free tea, coffee, and soda gun use only (no bottled drinks). Bring a refillable water bottle to stay hydrated.

After busy Friday or Saturday shifts (at manager’s discretion), you may have ONE free alcoholic drink:

  • Pint of Lager
  • Small House Wine

Staff Discount

  • Over 3 months’ service – 25% off bill during off peak times / 20% off bill during peak times
  • Applies to parties of up to 8, you must be dining with them
  • Discount must be applied by a manager
Health, Safety & Hygiene

Safety is everyone’s responsibility. Take care with hot plates, spills, and sharp objects. Keep your area clean and tidy. Always report accidents, hazards, or anything unsafe to a manager immediately.

Good hygiene is vital in hospitality – wash hands regularly, handle food carefully, and stay home if you’re unwell. Your wellbeing and that of our guests comes first.

Wastage

All wastage must be reported to a manager, who will advise what to do next.
Wastage includes:

  • Food or drink made by mistake
  • Food or drink returned by a guest
  • Dropped or spilled items
  • Out-of-date food or drink

Wastage must not be eaten by staff or given to customers without manager approval.

Wages, Service Charge & Holidays

We pay 4-weekly which means you get paid 13 times a year. You get paid on the Friday following a 4 week period. For example, if you work weeks 1-4, you will get paid on the Friday of week 5. Your pay goes straight into your bank account. Holiday entitlement is pro-rata based on a full-time allowance of 28 days per year, including public holidays.

To request time off, use the Square app and give at least four weeks’ notice. We’ll always try to accommodate requests where we can, but busy periods (like weekends, Christmas, New Year, Mother’s Day, Valentine’s Day and Bank Holidays) may have restrictions.

Everyone at Campo is paid at least the current UK National Minimum Wage (or higher depending on role and responsibility). Every team member receives a fair share of our service charge, divided fairly between the front and back of house, and processed through payroll in line with UK law.

Probation Period

All new starters have a three-month probation period. This gives you time to settle in, learn the role, and see if Campo is the right fit for you – and it gives us time to make sure we’re the right fit for you too. During this time, you’ll receive feedback and extra support.

Training, Growth & Support

We want everyone at Campo to grow. During your first few weeks, you’ll receive training on our menu, service style, and systems. After that, we’ll support you with regular check-ins, feedback, and opportunities to learn new skills. We love promoting from within – many of our team have grown into senior roles.

If you ever need support or guidance, Danielle, Aaron, or Faye are always available to help. We also take mental health seriously – if you’re struggling or feeling overwhelmed, talk to us. We’ll do what we can to support you.

Staff Facilities & Time Cards

Staff Areas
We unfortunately don’t have a designated staff room but we have areas staff use for breaks which are shared by everyone – please keep everywhere tidy, clean and respectful. You can store belongings here at your own risk, but Campo cannot be held responsible for lost or damaged property. Avoid bringing valuables to work whenever possible.

Breaks

Shifts over six hours include a 20-minute break. Shifts over eight hours include a 30-minute break. Longer breaks can only be authorised by a manager.
