A job you can enjoy

As our Assistant Manager, you will help to create a special atmosphere for guests. You will still be out there on the floor, right at the heart of the action – but you’ll be more than just ‘one of the team’. While the General Manager drives the business, it is you that manages the day‑to‑day running of the business…

You’ll need to take ownership of problems, and you’ll live by a mantra of ‘always doing the right thing’ – sometimes needing to think outside the box. Supporting the General Manager is a great way to learn the business side of running a pub. It is a chance to develop your skills and gain the knowledge you need to progress your career even further.

We don’t just hire great people – we invest in them. That’s why we offer:

• Award‑winning online training academy – learn anytime, anywhere
• Hands‑on supplier experiences – from craft brewery tours to farm visits
• Career progression & apprenticeships – we help you grow

About You

You’re the kind of person who:

• Brings passion for great food, drink, and service
• Supports the management team in leading shifts with confidence
• Handles guest expectations with charm and professionalism
• Has proven management experience in a hospitality or service‑led role
• Stays organised and thrives on multitasking

It’s an exciting time to join us!

We are growing, and we want you to grow with us and be part of our success. We’ve been busy investing in our business and we are seeing some great results. So, we want to continue to grow our pub family and we are looking to recruit passionate people into our team
