General Manager
Independent Craft Beer Pub (Sheffield)
Salary: Starting at £30,000 + up to £6,000 performance bonus (negotiable for the right candidate)
Hours: 40 hours per week (paid for every one of them)
Were an independent award-winning craft beer pub with a big personality and a loyal following. We pour 6 cask ales, 12 rotating craft lines, 6 house lines, continental lagers, and a carefully curated wine & spirits list. Our tapas-style food offer currently makes up 20% of sales
but wed love to see where the right manager could take it.
Were looking for someone who doesnt just want a job but wants to run a venue like its their own (without the risk of ownership). Think of it as being a business partner without the equity : the freedom to lead, but with support when you need it.
Please note: we are looking to recruit for an early 2026 start, following the Christmas rush. Applications are welcome now so we can connect with the right person in advance.
What youll get:
£30k salary plus up to £6k bonus for hitting sensible targets (GP, staff costs, growth)
Flexibility
we believe in a 40-hour cap and no unpaid overtime
Full training in cellar management if needed (6 cask, 12 craft, 6 house lines)
A chance to shape the food side and influence the future direction of the pub
The support of an owner who loves the place, but doesnt want to micromanage
What we need from you:
Solid pub/bar management experience (craft/food-led is ideal)
The ability to run rotas, recruitment, stock, ordering, kitchen and FOH without being spoon-fed
A natural leader whos just as happy on the floor with a tray as behind the laptop with the numbers
Commercially sharp
you understand GP and staff costs and know how to keep them in check
A genuine passion for beer, hospitality, and customer experience
Were a people-focused business. We dont cut corners, we dont overwork staff, and we dont expect you to live at the pub. We just want someone who gets it
who loves beer, food, and creating a space where people feel at home.
If youre ready to take the reins of one of Sheffields most respected independent pubs, and youve got the drive to grow it further, wed love to chat.
Apply with your CV and tell us why youd be excited to take this on.
