Overview
Venue Manager — Up to £55,000
We’re looking for a confident, hands-on Venue Manager to help lead a busy, high-performing pub. This is an ideal opportunity for a strong Restaurant Manager or Assistant General Manager ready to step into a broader leadership role as the No. 3 in the business. You’ll take real ownership of the floor and guest experience, overseeing day-to-day operations, leading service, and ensuring quality and consistency across the venue. A key focus will be running high-volume service smoothly, particularly during peak periods such as Sunday roast, while maintaining excellent standards and efficient table turns. This is a fast-paced environment, so experience working in a busy venue with weekly revenues in the region of £50,000–£100,000 is highly desirable. The venue also operates late into the evening, so flexibility to work late nights, including weekend finishes around 2–3am, is essential.
What you’ll be doing:
- Owning the restaurant floor and overall guest experience
- Leading high-volume service with confidence and control
- Managing service flow, table turns, and operational efficiency
- Developing, motivating, and supporting the team
- Maintaining strong quality standards across food, service, and atmosphere
- Supporting senior leadership with overall business performance
What we’re looking for:
- Experience as a Restaurant Manager or Assistant General Manager
- Proven background in busy, high-revenue venues
- A natural leader with a hands-on, floor-focused approach
- Strong operational awareness and attention to detail
- Flexibility to work late-night trading hours on weekends
- Passion for hospitality and creating great guest experiences
