I came for a glass of wine and snacks on <a href=\"https:\/\/restaurantsbrighton.co.uk\/fourth-church-hove\/\">Fourth and Church\u2019s<\/a> second day of opening. During lock down I was buying regular cases (maybe too regularly!) from Paul, the co-owner, and socially distanced (of course), started to talk more about wine and ended up sending him my wine notes of the bottles that I\u2019d been trying. Later on that year, I decided for a complete career change and began working there as a server, I loved it! I developed into a restaurant manager and then developing events and wine tastings and overseeing private dining room bookings.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-19021\" src=\"https:\/\/restaurantsbrighton.co.uk\/jobs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Copy-of-SM-Restaurant_Front_FourthChurch-02-1.png\" alt=\"facade of Fourth and Church \" width=\"1500\" height=\"1000\" srcset=\"https:\/\/restaurantsbrighton.co.uk\/jobs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Copy-of-SM-Restaurant_Front_FourthChurch-02-1.png 1500w, https:\/\/restaurantsbrighton.co.uk\/jobs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Copy-of-SM-Restaurant_Front_FourthChurch-02-1-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/restaurantsbrighton.co.uk\/jobs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Copy-of-SM-Restaurant_Front_FourthChurch-02-1-1024x683.png 1024w, https:\/\/restaurantsbrighton.co.uk\/jobs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Copy-of-SM-Restaurant_Front_FourthChurch-02-1-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/restaurantsbrighton.co.uk\/jobs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Copy-of-SM-Restaurant_Front_FourthChurch-02-1-1280x853.png 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Can you share your career history and how you first got into hospitality and wine?<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although my first job was in a Seafood kitchen cleaning scallops, mussels and washing up (I smelt amazing) and I\u2019d done stints running chalets in ski resorts, my path for 15 years was working in pensions and law enforcement! <\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It wasn\u2019t until lockdown that, like a lot of people, I reevaluated what I was doing with my life and where I wanted to be. <\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I\u2019d always obsessed about food and wine and wanted to follow my passion.
