Pier & Pantry
About
Pier & Pantry is a recruitment agency for seasonal work in catering and warehousing. Both sectors face the same challenge. Demand rises fast for a few months, and good people are hard to find when you need them most. We focus on these two fields, so we understand what a busy kitchen or a full loading bay asks of a new starter. We recruit, screen and brief seasonal staff, and we stay involved until the season ends. Employers get dependable crews, and workers get clear information and a contact they can reach.
Our story
Seasonal peaks arrive fast. A catering company needs extra hands for its busiest weeks. A warehouse needs pickers and packers before the rush starts. There is rarely time to recruit from scratch. Pier & Pantry is a recruitment agency for seasonal work in catering and warehousing. We find people for those short, intense periods so your operation keeps running.
Every request starts with a conversation about the work itself. We ask about the shifts, the tasks, the pace and what a good first day looks like. Then we look for candidates who fit that picture. We tell them plainly what the job involves. Before anyone starts, we confirm the roles, dates and arrangements in writing. During the season we stay in contact with both sides, so questions and changes are dealt with early.
You can expect clear agreements and honest information about every candidate. You also get one point of contact for the whole season. If a busy period is coming up, get in touch and tell us what you need. If you are looking for seasonal work yourself, reach out as well.
