If you love great food, fantastic service, and working with an inspiring team, this is the role for you!

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Running the Show: Oversee the daily operations of the restaurant, ensuring everything runs like clockwork, from the dining room and bar to the host stand and beyond.
• Inspiring Leadership: Lead by example, motivating and training your team to deliver top-notch service. Help managers and junior team members grow and feel supported in their roles.

• Keeping It Safe & Spotless: Ensure full compliance with health and safety regulations while maintaining a clean, welcoming environment for both guests and staff.
• Keeping the Restaurant Looking Its Best: Conduct regular inspections to make sure everything from equipment to décor is in top shape.
• Balancing Work & Life: We know hospitality can be demanding, so we encourage a structured schedule, aiming for a 47-hour workweek while ensuring you get the rest you need.

• A passionate leader with experience in restaurant or hospitality management.
• Someone who thrives on delivering exceptional customer service and creating memorable dining experiences.
• A strong communicator who can bring teams together and keep operations running smoothly.
• A problem-solver who can think on their feet and adapt to any situation.
• A team player who is ready to roll up their sleeves and get stuck in.
• Experience in financial management, budgeting, and performance analysis is a bonus!
• Ideally, experience in events, weddings, or sales...but we're open to all backgrounds!

• Up to £35,000 per annum, including service charge.
• Chance to run a gorgeous, intimate restaurant in a creative exhibition space.
