Job Description:

This is a restaurant that’s already earned its first Michelin star - and they’re not stopping there. With ambitions to push for a second star and luxury rooms soon to open, they’re looking for a General Manager to take the reins and elevate the experience even further.

The Role

This is a role for a seasoned General Manager who understands Michelin-level service inside and out. You’ll lead a team of 30, working closely with the kitchen to refine the guest experience, drive sales, and enhance the restaurant’s reputation. Hospitality is in your DNA, and you know how to bring a service to life - seamlessly balancing precision with warmth.

What We’re Looking For

• Michelin experience is essential - you know what it takes to operate at this level.
• Strong leadership skills, with a natural ability to motivate and develop teams.
• A deep understanding of wines and experience working with Sommeliers.
• Commercial and financial acumen - you’re as comfortable with numbers as you are with guests.
• A stand-out personality - engaging, professional, and memorable for all the right reasons.
• A passion for training and mentoring, ensuring the team is always at its best.
• The ability to thrive in an independent business, working closely with the owner.
