About Us:

Set on the edge of the Forest of Bowland, The Forest has a large open plan kitchen and restaurant, with a Mediterranean inspired menu that has something for everyone. We have a private dining space, bar & snug area, 8 en‑suite hotel rooms, and a large alfresco area.

Our gin still takes pride of place in our bar too, where we distill two of our own gins – Pendle & Ribble.

We have been recognised with multiple awards including Restaurant Magazine’s Food Led Company and the Publican Award’s Best Food Offer multiple times.

Recognised as a leading employer, we are extremely proud to be in The Sunday Times Best Places to work.

We know that the key to success is the people within the business, and that the first step is recruiting the best people who are just as passionate as us about food, drink, and true hospitality.

As part of a group of seven premium pubs with rooms, we’re big enough to offer progression and multisite opportunities, but small enough to know all of our teams personally and as individuals, which allows people to develop and excel in their areas of interest.

About you:

• You are passionate about great food and drink and supplying fantastic customer service.
• You are ready to aid the General Manager with leading and developing the team to be the best they can be.
• You have strong management and leadership skills.
• You have management experience within a service-based environment.
• You are organised and able to multitask.
