General Manager – The Grand Junction Arms, Tring

£45,000–£50,000 + up to 7% EBIT bonus + Loyalty Pot + Ownership Pathway + share of card tips

About us
Determination, passion and vision — these are the qualities we’re looking for in our next General Manager.

The Grand Junction Arms is a landmark canalside pub at Bulbourne, just outside Tring. With vast gardens, outdoor bars, and a fresh food reputation, summers here are massive – and we’re reopening with a fresh start. This is a rare opportunity to take on a flagship pub from day one, build the team in your own image, and put your stamp on the food, drink and service.

We’re an independent pub group with a proper food and drink focus. We run pubs the right way — fresh food, great drinks, and managers who have the freedom to make their site their own. And we’re growing, which means progression, rewards, and real ownership for the people who help us get there.

What’s in it for you

• Salary: £45,000–£50,000 base, depending on experience

• Bonus: Up to 7% of site EBIT

• Loyalty Pot: Up to £15,000 over 5 years, with pay-outs at years 3 and 5

• Ownership Pathway: Long-term managers can gain a stake in the wider company

• Tips: Share of card tips

• Perks: 50% off food & 20% off drinks across the group, 28 days holiday, team socials, sharers, staff discount

• Training: WSET and leadership training opportunities

• Autonomy: Freedom to run your pub as if it were your own, with direct support from the leadership team

What you’ll be doing

• Delivering impeccable service standards and memorable guest experiences

• Inspiring, training and developing your team

• Working closely with the Head Chef to drive a brilliant food offer

• Creating events, developing menus and working with suppliers

• Driving sales and profit through strong financial and commercial management

• Recruiting, motivating and retaining a high-performing team

What we’re looking for

• A proven General Manager with experience running a high-volume, food-led pub (this isn’t a first appointment)

• A natural leader who loves people and knows how to get the best from them

• High standards, attention to detail, and a genuine passion for hospitality

• Strong financial skills and a track record of growing sales and profit

• Creativity, ideas and the energy to make a pub truly great
