Job Description:

The Role:

This is a brilliant opportunity to join a standout business known for pairing exceptional food with some of the best drinks in town. They’re all about quality, personality, and a team culture that people want to be part of.

You’ll be front and centre on the floor, leading from the front and building a strong, connected team. Creating a “one team” approach between FOH and BOH is key – and if you’ve got a good knowledge of drinks or wine (or the drive to learn), you’ll be in great company, working alongside some serious industry talent.

This is a people-first business. They care deeply about their guests and their teams – and while the message is consistent, the way you deliver it is down to your own leadership style. The product is premium, the trade is solid, and now they need a GM who can push service standards, drive revenue and lead with energy.

About You:

• A natural leader who brings out the best in others
• Skilled at creating and nurturing a positive team culture
• Commercially sharp and confident with financials
• A great communicator who sets the tone on the floor
• Passionate about hospitality and creating memorable guest experiences
• Enthusiastic about premium products in a relaxed, high-quality setting
• WSET Level 2 is a plus
• Comes from a background where standards, service and quality matter
