If you’re looking to pocket a bit of extra cash in the lead up to Christmas, there are few better ways than getting paid to sample some delicious food.

The botanical themed eatery, which boasts 19 venues across the UK, is looking for one lucky individual to become its hanging kebabs taste tester, ensuring the latest (and future) creations are just as good as its classics.

The role involves providing honest feedback so that the dishes can be made as enjoyable as possible for other customers - and you will be paid £500 for your opinion.

Among the new dishes are a chicken and chorizo skewer, five spice duck with hoisin sauce, and crispy halloumi with garlic butter.

The chosen candidate will be tasked with sampling each of the new kebabs and the ideal sides and sauces to be served with each one. You will also help staff to decide on the perfect drink to complement each dish and work on developing new hanging kebab options for The Botanist 2020 menu.

You can also look forward to a bonus pancake hanging kebab to celebrate Shrove Tuesday, and have the chance to see your own signature kebab creation added to the Spring Specials in your local Botanist branch.
