Job description

We’re not just another restaurant. We are a Brasserie. “Restaurants” are everywhere. Brasseries are rarer, richer, and far more us. We are bustling, all-day, joyfully French - the place where life happens between the big occasions. A Brasserie is for every day, not just “someday”.

Do you know how to lead a team, charm the regulars, and make a busy brasserie feel effortlessly fun? If you’re a fan of turning meals into moments with good food, good wine and good company, then we think you’ll be at home here.

We’re looking for a General Manager with flair, passion, and a healthy love of good food and great company. Someone who can juggle reservations, inspire the team, charm the regulars, and still find time to taste the pistachio crème brûlée.

What you’ll be doing:

• Leading your team with joie de vivre — energy, laughter, and genuine warmth
• Keeping the service flowing and the atmosphere buzzing, from brunch to Bordeaux o’clock.
• Knowing your way around a P&L as easily as you do a wine list.
• Creating a place guests love — and teams are proud to call home.

Who you’ll be:

• A natural leader who can motivate, mentor, and make things happen.
• A lover of hospitality — and a knack for making people smile.
• Commercially savvy, bringing a hands-on attitude and genuine openness
• Experience running a busy restaurant or bar (ideally something a little ooh la la).

What we offer:

• A competitive salary and tasty bonus scheme, and we pay all our teams fortnightly because who doesn’t love a payday?
• Great perks, team meals, and plenty of opportunities to grow.
• Access your next pay early with our Stream partnership
• A vibrant, supportive company that believes in having fun while doing what we love.

So, if you can say “yes, chef!” — we’d love to meet you.
