This role requires candidates to have a valid UK work visa or settled status.

We’re on the lookout for a talented Assistant Restaurant Manager to support the day-to-day running of a beautifully presented restaurant in one of the Cotswolds’ most iconic market towns.

It’s a role for someone who lives and breathes hospitality—with warm welcomes, slick service, and a genuine pride in making every guest experience a memorable one.

• Competitive salary plus tronc
• 40-45 hour week
• Free meals on duty
• Development programmes and progression opportunities

The venue is a classic coaching inn with a contemporary edge—think cosy open fires, modern British menus, and a dining room that blends rustic charm with elegant comfort.

Whether guests are stopping by for a casual lunch, weekend escape, or special celebration, the vibe is relaxed, refined and unmistakably Cotswolds.

As Assistant Restaurant Manager you will:

• Report directly to the Restaurant Manager and run the restaurant in their absence
• Have a friendly, yet professional persona
• Have experience of working within an establishment that focuses on fresh food
