Job description

Assistant Manager

The Fox & Anchor, a busy Hotel Pub situated in Barbican. The best place for a business lunch, evening meal after work or the perfect roast on a Sunday! We'd love to have you join the team.

We're a busy pub in Farringdon with six boutique bedrooms. We've been filling bellies with great food & drinks for over two centuries - so it's safe to say we've been around a while.

Harking back to our history of being the go-to spot for Smithfield market traders, our current kitchen team love to showcase the best of locally sourced produce. Although we are traditional at heart, innovation is encouraged, and celebrated in our chef team.

Think prime cuts and provenance; pork T bone, venison steak, and hefty sharing cuts of Côte de boeuf - alongside pub classics, lighter, fish-focussed dishes, and multicoloured vegetarian delights. Our atmospheric pub is at the beating heart of London, and we are blessed by passing footfall, celebrations & events, plus we're open from morning cuppa 'til nightcap.

We're a tight-knit team, supporting one another through the trials & tribulations of pub life. Hard work, good fun, reliability, and many cups of coffee make our world go round.

If you have good experience (perhaps not quite as much as us) plus share our passion for creating spectacular dishes, then Landlord Marc & the team would love to hear from you.

What We Offer Our Assistant Managers:

• Access to our Career Pathway and development towards GM - A large majority of our GM appointments are internal
• Access to our fully funded apprenticeships and training and development courses
• 20% discount in all Young's Pubs and 30% discount on overnight stays in our Pubs with Rooms
• Access to our Share Save Scheme
• Free Meals
• 28 Days holiday per year
• Company Pension Scheme

What we look for in an Assistant Manager:

We are looking for a motivated & experienced Assistant Manager to join and lead our team in our stylish, food focused pub. As the successful Assistant Manager you will have a genuine passion for exceptional customer service and a pro-active approach to team management. You will be enthusiastic & driven to continue the success of our pub and play a pivotal part in training our team to ensure they have the knowledge needed to delight our customers. You will also be someone who is committed to their career in hospitality and we can offer ongoing development to support you as you grow and succeed with us.
