We are a bold, award-winning business who pride ourselves in empowering our managers with the autonomy to operate boutique, premium businesses that ‘wow’ our customers within an industry-leading environment. We run friendly, welcoming, and positive pubs, restaurants and hotels with high standards and take a different approach to others; always striving to be the best we can be.

We are looking for a General Manager to join the family. 

A pub to fall in love with. On the banks of the Kennet & Avon canal in the North Wessex Downs a stone’s throw from Reading and Newbury racecourse with easy access to London. Our pub is a quirky place perfect in all seasons from roaring fires in winter to summer barbeques and alfresco dining in our beautiful garden.

What’s in it for you?

• Work/Life balance!  This role can be done over 3-4 days if you prefer!  People want and need flexibility - we will help you achieve that!
• The chance to work for an award-winning business. We have won multiple high profile awards over the last few years at the prestigious National Publican Awards including Best Food and Premium Food Offer and Best Managed Pub Co (2024).   You will be working with some of the most talented people in the industry.
• A share of ALL TIPS.  This can mean an additional £5,000 per annum (approximate)
• Access to Liberation Life - an incredible platform where you can earn cash-back with major retailers, save money on your purchases including holidays, groceries, gifts and much more!
• The opportunity to work for a diverse, eclectic company and gain experience in a range of businesses and food offers.  We take a collaborative approach to business development, giving you independence to drive your pub to success and implement your own ideas – the bigger the better!
• A competitive salary plus an achievable and substantial bonus scheme.  Accommodation may also be available.
• Access to industry leading training and development.  We offer bespoke training plans as part of our ‘Pillars of Progression’ programme.
• We offer additional support and coaching from our operations team.
• You will work closely with some of the best locally sourced food and drink produce, including our own, award-winning beer!
• We will back with you the tools you need to do a great job and have invested significantly in our properties.
• The buzz that comes with team parties, events, training courses, great suppliers and some of the industry’s best team rewards, discounts and benefits (including 50% off food on shift).
• A business who cares about you.  We are ambassadors for the Burnt Chef Project fighting the stigma of mental health and working with them to train and support our teams.   We also offer an Employee Assistance Program that is there 24/7 to provide you with support.
