We’re recruiting on behalf of a busy, neighbourhood-style restaurant group in Oxford for a hands-on Restaurant Manager to lead the front-of-house team.
This is a role for someone who genuinely loves hospitality, enjoys being on the floor with guests, and thrives in a fast-paced casual dining environment. The restaurants have a strong local following and a real community feel, so personality, warmth, and presence are just as important as operational ability.
This is not a back-office management role. The business is looking for someone who leads from the front, builds relationships with guests, and creates an atmosphere people want to come back to.
