General Manager

Our pub teams work really hard with a real level of autonomy. Freshly cooked food, skilled chefs, and General Managers trusted to run their pubs properly. Menus, specials, and events aren't handed down - they're created by the people on site who know their customers best. That might mean in one site bringing in whole deer from a Royal estate and butchering it down in-house, or another sourcing seafood straight from a Hampshire harbour. It keeps things interesting, it keeps standards high, increases skill levels rather than de skilling and it keeps our pubs full of life.

I'm currently looking for a General Manager for The Old Mill, just outside Lymington in the New Forest. It's a converted water mill in a standout location - a serious opportunity for someone who wants to run a special site.
