The pub has a fantastic reputation for its food offer, which is all about using local seasonal produce to delight our guests. It has its own large private dining room, perfect for parties and events, or hosting a supper club or two. The back garden is a generously sized little slice of heaven, and part of it becomes a garden room in the winter thanks to 4 glass walls and a retractable roof. Alongside all of this, it has 14 stunning bedrooms for overnight guests.

We're looking for a General Manager that has experience working in premium settings with fresh food experience. They have a track record of running multi-faceted businesses and are people focused and guest centric.

You decide what events and sales driving to do, what the team uniform is, and look after all your own recruitment and marketing. If you are a people-focused Pub General Manager with fresh food experience, then we want to hear from you.
