Are you a General Manager who knows how to run a great pub, build a strong team and create a place people genuinely want to come back to?
n
n
We’re working with a growing collection of premium London pubs and bars to find an ambitious General Manager to take full ownership of one of their venues.
n
This is not about simply keeping the pub running.
n
It’s about leading from the front, driving the business, developing your people and creating a venue with its own identity.
n
n
The business is food-led, drinks-focused and built around great hospitality — with fresh, seasonal food, quality drinks, proper service and venues that have a strong sense of personality.
n
n
The Role
n
As General Manager, you’ll have overall responsibility for the performance and day-to-day running of the venue.
n
You’ll be the person who sets the tone, leads the team and makes sure everything comes together — from the guest experience and service standards to sales, people and commercial performance.
n
You’ll be responsible for:
n
- n
- Leading the full operation of the venue
- Driving sales, revenue and profitability
- Creating an outstanding guest experience
- Recruiting, developing and retaining a strong team
- Building a positive, high-performing culture
- Managing and improving operational standards
- Working closely with the Head Chef to drive the food operation
- Managing labour, GP, stock and controllable costs
- Driving events, activations and local business

What We're Looking For
n
We’re looking for a commercially strong, people-focused GM who genuinely understands what makes a great pub.
n
You’ll ideally have experience running a busy premium pub, gastro pub, bar, restaurant or high-volume hospitality venue.
n
You’ll be someone who:
n
- n
- Has a strong track record of driving sales and profitability
- Knows how to lead and motivate a large team
- Is confident managing a busy, high-volume operation
- Understands the numbers as well as the hospitality
- Has strong knowledge of labour, GP and cost control
- Can recruit, develop and retain great people
- Is commercially minded without losing sight of the guest
- Is visible, hands-on and leads from the front

n
n
n
n
n
n
We’re particularly interested in GMs coming from premium pubs, gastro pubs, competitive socialising, quality casual dining, restaurant groups and high-volume bars.
n
n
The Opportunity
n
This is an opportunity to take ownership of a venue within a growing London hospitality group where individual venues have their own identity and personality.
n
You’ll have the support of an experienced wider management team, but you’ll also have the autonomy to run your venue like a business.
n
If you’re the kind of GM who gets excited by improving a site, growing sales, developing people and creating a team that genuinely cares about what they do, this is a role where you can make a real impact.
n
And as the group continues to grow, there is genuine opportunity to progress beyond your individual venue.
n
n
Interested?
n
If you're a GM who wants to run a great venue, build a great team and have a genuine impact on the business, we'd love to hear from you.
n
n
Apply now with your CV and we'll be in touch with more information about the venue and opportunity.
n
n
This could be the next pub you’re proud to put your name to.
