You’ll have the freedom to innovate and develop the bar offering, taking ownership of everything from stock control and ordering to cellar management and sales.

What you’ll bring

• Proven experience managing a team in a food and beverage environment
• Strong knowledge of bar products - spirits, wines, beers, ales and cocktails
• Understanding of cellar management, stock rotation and control
• A genuine passion for creating memorable customer experiences
• Enthusiasm, creativity and a hands-on approach

What you’ll get

• Free event tickets to our motorsport and horseracing events
• Free Gym and Health Club membership
• Discounted products across the Estate
• A health cash plan and access to a comprehensive wellbeing package
• Company Bonus Scheme
