We are recruiting for a passionate and ambitious Deputy Manager to join a highly successful gastro pub, restaurant and bar operation in a beautiful location close to Stone and Stafford.
This is a fantastic opportunity to join a quality-led, growing hospitality group with an outstanding reputation for looking after their people and developing careers. The business operates a stunning collection of high-quality venues where standards are high, the food is fresh and locally sourced, and customer experience is everything.
The operation itself has been refurbished to an exceptional standard and offers a warm, welcoming atmosphere with something for everyone — from relaxed lunches and evening dining to special occasions and overnight stays in its beautifully appointed bedrooms. It is successful both as a destination venue and a thriving local favourite with a loyal regular trade.
We are looking for a hands-on Deputy Manager with personality, energy and a genuine love for hospitality. Someone who enjoys being on the floor, behind the bar, chatting with guests from all walks of life and helping create a memorable customer experience every day.
This role would suit someone currently working within a quality gastro pub or fresh food pub operation who is looking to step into a business where they can really make their mark and progress their career.
What we’re looking for:
* Experience within a quality gastro pub, premium food pub or fresh food restaurant operation
* A strong host with excellent customer service skills and the ability to engage naturally with guests
* Hands-on approach with the willingness to support across all areas of the business
* Strong leadership skills with experience motivating, training and developing teams
* Good commercial awareness including stock control, GP management and driving sales
* High standards across food, drink and service delivery
* Ambitious and eager to develop into a broader management role, including future involvement with the bedrooms side of the business
* Experience from either quality independents, premium gastro pub groups or a combination of both would be ideal
The company offers excellent support, genuine progression opportunities, incentives, trips and a positive culture where hard work and personality are recognised and rewarded.
Package:
* Starting salary around £34,000 depending on experience
* Excellent tronc and tips
* Company incentives and trips
* Great training and development
* Genuine long-term career progression
If you have the right background and are looking to join a genuinely exciting hospitality business with an excellent reputation, we’d love to hear from you. Please send your CV for immediate consideration
