• Manage, coach, and inspire the food and beverage team.

• Organise staff rotas and ensure appropriate staffing levels.

• Oversee afternoon tea, weddings, private dining, celebrations, and corporate events.

• Monitor stock levels, complete stock takes, and control beverage costs.

• Maximise sales through effective upselling and team training.

• Handle guest feedback professionally and resolve any issues promptly.

• Ensure compliance with food safety, licensing, and health & safety regulations.

• Support the recruitment, onboarding, and development of new team members.

We're looking for someone who:

• Has previous experience managing a restaurant and bar within a quality hotel or fine dining environment.

• Is a confident leader who enjoys motivating and developing a team.

• Leads by example and isn't afraid to roll up their sleeves during busy services.

• Has excellent food, wine, cocktail, and beverage knowledge.

• Is passionate about delivering outstanding hospitality.

• Is highly organised and able to manage multiple priorities.

• Has excellent communication and problem-solving skills.

• Is flexible and willing to work evenings, weekends, and holidays as required.

• Previous experience with weddings and events would be an advantage.

• Competitive salary.

• Service charge and gratuities.

• Company pension.

• Staff meals whilst on duty.

• Employee discounts across the hotel.

• Ongoing training and development opportunities.

• The opportunity to work within a beautiful country house hotel with an award-winning restaurant.

• A supportive, close-knit team where every role truly makes a difference.

• Career progression within a growing hospitality business.

At Beechfield House, we believe that outstanding hospitality begins with outstanding people. Every member of our team plays an important role in delivering the warm, personal service for which we are known.

If you're passionate about hospitality, enjoy leading from the front, and are looking for an exciting hands-on management role in one of Wiltshire's most charming country house hotels, we'd love to hear from you.
