General Manager with Accommodation

McMullens

Milton Keynes • Up to £38,000 plus bonus including a 3-bedroomed accommodation • Full time

A rare opportunity has arisen for a General Manager for our lovely Destination pub in Milton Keynes.

We are looking for an experienced General Manager to run the Old Beams, part of our Destination Inns concept. A McMullen house since 1995, the Old Beams was rebuilt after a fire in 2007. Enjoy seriously relaxed dining in this hidden country gem at the heart of Shenley Lodge. With the remnants of the historical pub abutted to the newer oak-framed barn, the ingeniously reconstructed Old Beams is a glorious triumph of gastronomy over adversity! Dine inside warmed by log fires in the vaulted oak barn or private dining rooms of the old pub or, weather permitting, alfresco in the garden or patio.

This is a great food business with a strong reputation locally and potential to grow. The right candidate will have a proven track record of growing sales in a volume food-led business, a strong people skillset, and a desire to build and lead an engaged team. A love of food is important, as chefs’ recommendations are key to the Destination concept, as well as exceptional guest service. The ideal candidate will be a creative, energetic problem solver who wants to make this pub stand out by putting their own stamp on the business, developing a strong team, engaging guests through events and social media, but most of all focusing on the basics to ensure we deliver the Destination experience.

• Being able to spot talent and develop individuals to reach their potential
• Financial management of the business to deliver profit growth
• Ability to plan sales and cost lines
• All aspects of licensing, food, and health & safety compliance in line with the law

Salary and Benefits

• Salary of up to £38,000 per annum live-in, dependent on experience
• Accommodation consists of a well-appointed 3-bedroom flat
• Company contributory pension scheme
• Life Assurance
• Bonus scheme
• Family-friendly policies including enhanced Maternity and Paternity pay
