Great hospitality is about more than good service. It’s about creating experiences guests remember. At Smiths Hotel, our Food & Beverage team plays a huge part in that, from relaxed breakfasts and evening dining to weddings, celebrations and large-scale events. We’re looking for a Food & Beverage Manager to join our Hotel Operations team. Working closely with our Senior Food & Beverage Manager, you will help lead service, support the wider operation, and deliver exceptional guest experiences every day.
This is a hands‑on leadership role based primarily at Smiths Hotel.
One moment you could be supporting breakfast service. The next, preparing for a wedding breakfast, managing a busy restaurant service or overseeing an event turnover.
You’ll play a key role in ensuring every service runs smoothly and every guest experience reflects the standards we expect at Gretna Green.

* Acting as part of the wider Duty Management team
What we’re looking for
You may already be an F&B Manager or perhaps a strong Assistant Manager ready to step up.
Most importantly, you’ll:
* Lead from the front
* Stay calm under pressure
* Enjoy the pace of hospitality
* Take pride in high standards
* Know how to motivate a team
Experience within hotel operations, weddings or events would be beneficial.
