Job description

We're looking for a General Manager for a popular community pub and hotel.

Salary up to £42k plus bonus and a generous benefits package.

Marston’s is one of the UK’s largest and most beloved pub chains and today, we operate more than 1,300 pubs, bars and hotels. Now, we’re on the lookout for a great General Manager to take charge at the Admirals Table in Bridgewater and lead the team to success!

What you get

At Marston’s we’re one big family. We put our people first, which is why we offer real benefits including:

• Additional earnings potential through bonus and incentive schemes
• Marston’s Cheers Platform, giving you access to discount at major retailers
• Access to a pension plan
• On-site accommodation
• Private healthcare
• Award winning training and development

About the pub

The Admirals Table attracts a lot of local food diners and has a great bar area, a separate dining area with hotel rooms that can be used to attract visitors to the area.

The pub is currently turning over £15,000 on a weekly basis (40% wet, 40% dry, 20% rooms). There is potential to increase weekly sales as the pub has great sales potential with the right General Manager.

Management accommodation is available in the form of a 3 bedroom cottage on site.

Have you got what it takes?

It’s true, being a Pub Manager is demanding but the people make it much more than just a job. Brimming with energy and ideas, you’ll add touches of your personality to your pub and think of new ways to delight and excite your customers. You’ll thrive off growing your business and have a ‘lead from the front’ mentality and passion for nurturing your team.

As a General Manager you’ll:

• Care about finding, growing and engaging your team.
• Be accountable for running all aspects of your pub.
• Be passionate about doing the right thing for your staff and your customers.
• Dream big and think differently about new ways to increase sales and growth.
• Celebrate and create a buzz by sharing enjoyable experiences.

Are we right for you?

From cosy locals to pub-restaurants, our destination businesses serve up an award-winning selection of pub classics and innovative new dishes. What’s more, our impressive drinks portfolio combines well-known brands, like Estrella and Hobgoblin, with outstanding craft ales and beers. Add a dash of our unique Marston’s atmosphere and we have the ingredients to make every visit a fantastic experience for our customers. The same goes for our people and as one of our General Managers you’ll find a premium blend of challenge, security and career progression. And whenever you need support or guidance advice from your area manager, you’ll find their door is always open.
