Job description

General Manager – Live In.

We’re looking for a General Manager for the Bull and Gate in Kentish Town. Situated on the high street near the station, this pub crackles with an electric atmosphere. It is a favourite pre‑show haunt for the Kentish Town Forum big sporting occasions and, after a stunning refurbishment, also offers great surroundings for those looking for a drink and a bite to eat.

The pub comes complete with an upstairs cocktail bar / events area that is perfect for private hires and the food is all about showcasing pub classics alongside uncomplicated, people‑focused operationally minded general management. We need someone to take over this multi‑faceted favourite and continue to drive the business.

• Huge annual bonus potential – up to 100% of your salary!
• Private Health Insurance
• Enhanced Company Pension Scheme
• Life Assurance Scheme
• 20% discount at all Young’s pubs and 30% discount on overnight stays in our pubs with rooms
• Access to our Share Save Scheme
• Access to our Career Pathway and Training and Development Courses
