We are seeking a bold individual who is eager to immerse themselves in the artisan food and drink scene of Scotland and the UK. This person will be the ambassador of Bowhouse, an already established food and drink hub based in the East Neuk of Fife.

Bowhouse opened its doors in July 2017 and since then has developed into a bustling food and drink site with 9 businesses and a busy events venue.
