About the Role Job application tracking
This is a proper front-of-house leadership role. You'll work shoulder-to-shoulder with the management team to run smooth, energetic services whether it's a packed Saturday night, a wedding party in the barn, or a peaceful weekday lunch with the regulars. You'll help train and lead the team, make sure service feels personal and polished, and step in wherever needed to keep things running like clockwork. Its the kind of role where no two days feel the same, and where your influence genuinely shapes the guest experience.

The pub itself has been sympathetically restored, retaining its character while offering guests a menu built on thoughtful, local sourcing.

The company was set up by our partnered clients, both with huge experience in hospitality, having worked our way up from washing plates some 20 years ago. 40 years of combined experience, both still very in touch with the industry and wanting to do things with a fresh perspective.
