Are you a passionate and driven leader looking for your next challenge? This is an incredible opportunity to join a well-established, family‑run business that's not only a respected leader in the UK hospitality industry, but also known for its strong values, people‑first culture, and commitment to delivering outstanding guest experiences.

We're looking for a Restaurant Manager to take the reins at our client's busy restaurant in Marlow – a high‑volume venue seating up to 150 covers.

• Family‑run – join a business where your voice matters and your work makes a real impact
• Industry‑leading brand – with a strong footprint across the UK and a reputation for quality, service, and innovation
• Work‑life balance – daytime‑only shifts (finish by 6PM!) and alternate weekend working
• Opportunity to lead a site transformation – put your stamp on a high‑potential location with big plans
• Beautiful setting – work in a stunning, countryside location that guests and staff alike love

Restaurant Manager - What We're Looking For:

• A natural leader from a branded, full‑service background who understands how to drive standards and deliver results
• Experience in financial control, including P&L responsibility, budgeting, and cost management
• A track record of coaching and developing large FOH and BOH teams
• Confidence working in high‑volume environments with a strong focus on guest satisfaction
• A proactive, hands‑on manager who leads from the front and isn't afraid to roll up their sleeves
• A passion for turning underperforming sites around and driving them to become high‑performing successes
• A calm and confident communicator, capable of managing change and inspiring a team through a period of evolution
• Kitchen trained or confident & able to step into the kitchen in times of need

Restaurant Manager - The Essentials:

• Previous management experience in a similar hospitality setting (high volume restaurant, branded ideally)
• A full UK driving licence (due to site location)

This role is ideal for someone who loves the buzz and pace of hospitality, but also values a more balanced lifestyle. It's an opportunity to join a business where you're not just a number — you're part of a wider family, with support, recognition and room to grow.
