General Manager – The Wheelwright’s Arms, Havant
Up to £47,000 + Bonus + up to £5,000 Tronc
About Us
The Wheelwright’s Arms isn’t just a pub — it’s the pub. We’re the place where Sunday roasts are a weekly ritual, the pints are always cold, the gravy’s always hot, and the welcome’s always warmer than your nan’s hug.
We’re part of Upham Inns, a family of gorgeous pubs across Southern England. That means you get the charm of a proper local with the perks, training, and career growth of a bigger company. Win-win.
The Gig
We need a General Manager who’s equal parts leader, host, and fixer-of-everything. Someone who can keep the team inspired, the guests delighted, and the business booming — all while making it look effortless (and maybe cracking the occasional joke).
The Perks:
Up to £47,000 per annum + Bonus + Tronc (up to £5,000/year)
Flexible shifts — because you’ve got a life too
33% off food for you and up to 6 guests
Hotel discounts (because everyone needs a getaway)
Career development with a clear growth pathway
Lifestyle Card with 5,000+ discounts — from coffee to cinema
Service awards & referral bonuses (up to £1,000)
Work for a company that’s big enough to support you, small enough to care
You’ll be the sort of person who:
Can walk into a room and instantly make people feel welcome
Has 1+ year as a GM in a premium pub
Knows your P&L from your IPA
Can lead a team without losing your cool (or your sense of humour)
Loves hospitality — like, really loves it
Is happy to work evenings, weekends, and bank holidays (because that’s when the magic happens)
What you’ll actually do:
Lead the team from the front — part coach, part motivator, part bad-joke teller
Keep guests smiling and coming back for more
Manage the serious stuff — P&L, stock, labour costs — without killing the vibe
Be the face of The Wheelwright’s Arms in the local community
Make sure the pub is safe, compliant, and always looking its best
So if you’re ready to take the reins, run a pub you can be proud of, and become part of a growing family that values people as much as profit — pull yourself a pint, click apply and get that CV over to us.
