Looking for somewhere new to explore? Keen to live a short walk from beautiful white sand beaches? Searching for a place where you can find the perfect life-work balance whilst saving money and working alongside a team of like minded people? Join our team on Alderney, in The Channel Islands.

The Moorings is a beach bar and cafe with direct access to the stunning Braye beach - with views of crystal blue water and white sand from the large terrace, it’s no wonder The Moorings is an island favourite for hearty breakfasts, lazy lunches in the sun, fresh stone-baked pizzas, cocktails at sunset, and dancing the night away at one of our live music events.
