Hosts with a flair for cooking sought for Kongens Køkken (The King's Kitchen) at Marienlyst Castle
- Full-time, part-time or student job
Do you want to help create great guest experiences at Kongens Køkken, where we work across the cafe and kitchen?
Kongens Køkken will be a vibrant gathering place at the castle, where guests can enjoy breakfast, brunch and lunch – a good cup of coffee, homemade cake, a tapas board and a glass of wine – and where we also prepare food for meetings, events and parties.
We work closely together in a small team, where everyone helps each other across hosting duties and kitchen tasks.
We value a good atmosphere in the kitchen, teamwork and job satisfaction – even when the pace is high.
About the job
As an employee at Kongens Køkken, you will be one of the first faces our guests meet when they visit the castle and the exhibition.
The work includes, among other things:
- service and serving in the cafe
- serving at meetings, conferences and events
- contact with guests from both Denmark and abroad
- preparation and lighter tasks in the kitchen
As we also have international guests, it is a requirement that you speak English as a minimum.
Here, we work across the cafe and kitchen – therefore, we are looking for hosts who also want to work with food.
After training, you must be able to prepare the cafe's dishes, plate them and handle the usual tasks in the kitchen on a daily basis – while also helping to serve our guests.
Here, we work as one cohesive team, helping each other across hosting duties and kitchen tasks.
We are looking for you who
- are smiling and service-minded
- enjoy interacting with guests
- work in a structured way and maintain an overview
- thrive in a fast-paced environment with many different tasks
- contribute to a good work environment and positive tone
- have an interest in food and, after training, also wish to be able to prepare and plate the cafe's dishes
Experience from a cafe, restaurant or service is an advantage – but the most important thing is your attitude and commitment.
We offer
- a workplace in the historic and beautiful surroundings of Marienlyst Castle
- a small team with good energy and cooperation
- opportunity to learn both cafe operations, service and kitchen tasks
- work primarily during the day, 8 AM–3 PM (also weekends)
- a few evening shifts occasionally, typically until approx. 8 PM
- the positions can be full-time, part-time or hourly paid – also as a student job
- salary according to qualifications
Start April/May/June.

Marienlyst Castle has roots dating back to the 16th century, when Frederik II established the site as a pleasure retreat near Kronborg. The current castle was built in 1759–63 by the French court architect Nicolas-Henri Jardin.
After a careful renovation, the castle will reopen in spring 2026 as a vibrant place with Kongens Køkken, the exhibition Paradise for all times and a varied program of events.
Marienlyst Castle – a place where history inspires, community gathers and great experiences are created
