Position: General Manager — Church House Bar & Restaurant (Banbury)
Salary: Competitive + Performance Bonus
Location: Banbury, Oxfordshire
Start Date: ASAP
About Us
Church House Bar & Restaurant isn’t just a place to eat — it’s a story.
Built inside a historic church, we transformed it from a local café into Banbury’s most iconic brasserie, with a reputation for outstanding food, craft drinks, and a unique atmosphere.
The restaurant has funded a multi-million-pound property portfolio, and now we’re ready for the next chapter:
to become a self-sustaining, franchise-ready hospitality brand that can expand nationally.
We have the vision, the brand, and the system.
Now we need you — an experienced General Manager who can run the show with excellence, develop our team, and help us make Church House the blueprint for the next locations.
Your Role
As our GM, you’ll have full responsibility for the day-to-day running of Church House, including:
• Leading & inspiring a front-of-house & kitchen team to deliver consistent, memorable guest experiences.
• Managing operations, from bookings to service to closing, with precision.
• Tracking KPIs: sales growth, food/labour costs, customer satisfaction, and team retention.
• Implementing our Independent Operations System so the business runs without owner involvement.
• Working alongside a training consultant to lock in staff consistency.
• Collaborating on marketing initiatives to keep the brand fresh and visible.
What We’re Looking For
• Proven experience as a General Manager or senior leadership role in a high-volume restaurant or hotel.
• Strong leadership skills — you know how to inspire teams and hold them accountable.
• Operational excellence — you understand cost control, stock management, and profit optimisation.
• A passion for hospitality and creating unforgettable experiences for guests.
• Someone who loves building systems, not just running shifts.
What We Offer
• Competitive salary + performance bonus.
• Freedom to innovate and leave your mark on a growing brand.
• The chance to work in one of the most unique hospitality venues in Oxfordshire.
• The opportunity to be part of something bigger — helping launch future locations.
