We are seeking a passionate, confident, and driven General Manager (or an experienced Assistant Manager ready to step up) to lead one of Surrey’s most exclusive new dining concepts, alongside a neighbouring, well-established brunch venue.

📍 Location: Surrey. 💰 Salary: £45,000 – £60,000, depending on experience. 🕓 Schedule: 5 days on / 2 days off. 🏠 Accommodation: Optional double room available above the restaurant.

About the Venues: Venue One – Fine Dining (open 3 evenings a week): A discreet, high‑end restaurant offering an Asian‑influenced menu in an intimate, premium setting. This is a secret concept with no online presence – guests attend by invitation or word of mouth. It already attracts celebrities and high‑profile local clientele and is known for its refined, understated luxury. Venue Two – Brunch & Weekend Lounge (open 7 days a week): Located directly next door, this is a successful, established brunch venue that transitions into a light, vibrant social space on weekends, requiring a flexible and polished management approach.

The Role

• Lead, motivate, and develop a professional front‑of‑house team.
• Deliver exceptional guest experiences in a high‑profile, exclusive environment.
• Oversee daily operations across two neighbouring venues.
• Work closely with the owner and Head Chef to refine and grow both concepts.
• Manage budgets, stock control, and supplier relationships.
• Take ownership of the wine and beverage programme – strong wine knowledge is essential.
• Curate wine, cocktail, and beverage offerings to match premium brand standards.
• Train and mentor the team in premium beverage service.

The Ideal Candidate

• Living locally or have reliable access to your own transportation.
• Energetic, confident, and highly service‑driven.
• Experienced in fine dining, boutique hotels, or high‑end hospitality.
• Strong in wine knowledge (sommelier or bar management background is highly advantageous).
• A natural leader with excellent communication skills.
• Comfortable managing multiple concepts side‑by‑side.
• Ambitious and excited by long‑term progression within a growing group.

Why This Role?

Lead one of Surrey’s most exclusive and discreet dining destinations. Manage two contrasting venues under one roof. Clear career progression, with plans to open multiple future sites.
