General Manager - Live In


Description

We are currently looking for a new General Manager to join our team of brilliant, like-minded managers.

With a rich history, previously a Windmill and also the HQ of the Home Guard during World War II and undoubtedly one of Fuller’s most beautifully situated businesses, The Windmill occupies a hillside location with stunning panoramic views of the Severn Estuary. It is without a doubt the best location in Portishead, famous for our Sunday Roasts, family occasions with welcoming service, and high-volume food all delivered at pace. The Windmill must continue to be the best place locally for great food, exceptional service, and a view to die for. We want The Windmill to continue to be known as one of the best Family pubs within the Fuller's estate. A slick high volume destination food house where the food offer is targeted to attract a wide range of mass market customers, but with the ability to deliver premium options and occasions without breaking a sweat. Where Sunday lunch is not to be missed, and a destination worth travelling to from miles around – but for the service and offer, not just the view.

The Windmill attracts a varied customer base and is heavily food led. The menu consists of a great selection of pub classics and has recently been capitalising on some excellent Signature dishes. They also serve the usual range of perfectly conditioned beers, ales, wines, and spirits. Shakespeare in the Garden has become a popular annual event, with the past two years being sell outs and hugely successful – hardly surprising given the stunning backdrop!

The next General Manager of The Windmill will need to have experience in a high volume food business with an element of seasonality. The ability to train and motivate the team to offer great service especially during peak trading will be essential. Building on, and maintaining the good online reputation, as well as some strong local marketing will help the business to continue to grow.

This is a Live In position and comes with a stunning family cottage. The Windmill is a perfect appointment for an experienced General Manager looking for their next challenge in a seasonal food led business.


What can we offer you?

  • Annual performance-based bonus
  • 25 days holiday plus bank holidays
  • Medical & Dental cash plan including video GP appointments
  • Enhanced pension scheme
  • Life Assurance
  • 25%-40% staff discount off food and drink, across all our pubs and hotels for you and your friends and family (increases with length of service)
  • Discounted hotel stays
  • Full induction and training
  • Opportunity to grow in your role
  • The option to receive 30% of your earnings as you earn them with Wagestream. This means you won’t need to wait until payday for your money.
  • Retail discounts with the My Fuller’s Hub


Could you write the next chapter of our story?

As our General Manager, you’ll be the driving force behind the success of the pub.

Ultimately, the smiles on faces, the return visits and the positive reviews are all down to you - making this one of the most rewarding jobs in the hospitality business.

For any General Manager, Fuller’s is a special company to work for. You’ll get lots of help and support from our Support Office when you need it, but also plenty of encouragement to put your own spin on the pub.

You can take plenty of pride in the role too, knowing that Fuller’s ales, food and service has a reputation as some of the very best in the business.

You’ll need to be commercially minded, making the right decisions to keep customers pouring through the doors. Importantly though, you’ll be a people-person too - mindful that to many, you’re still a good old-fashioned ‘Landlord’.

And of course, you’ll have a team to look after. So, we’re looking for somebody with true leadership qualities – able to keep both the customers and the team smiling.
