Bradley’s Bar Manager – Mill Farm Sports Village
Salary: £33,000 per annum
Location: Mill Farm Sports Village, Wesham (near Preston)
Contract: Full-time, on-site
Lead our flagship sports bar on and off matchdays
Are you a hands-on bar leader who loves the buzz of live sport and a busy venue? As Bradley’s Bar Manager, you’ll take full ownership of our high-volume sports bar operation – from leading the team in service to managing liquor across the stadium and ensuring every guest leaves wanting to come back.
This is a front-line role at the heart of the matchday and event experience, with real responsibility and room to make your mark.
What you’ll be doing
You’ll be responsible for day-to-day bar operations across:
* Bradley’s Sports Bar: Running a lively, fast-paced bar, ensuring great atmosphere, slick service and consistent standards on both matchdays and non-matchdays.
* Liquor management: Overseeing liquor stock takes, controls and ordering for Bradley’s Bar, the liquor store and outlets across the stadium and concession boxes.
* Stadium outlets: Coordinating bar stocks for concourse kiosks, private boxes and hospitality areas so every bar is ready for peak trading.
* People & leadership: Leading, coaching and rota-planning your team, setting clear expectations and leading service by example.
* Compliance & standards: Ensuring licensing, age verification, health & safety and cash handling procedures are followed at all times.
* Guest experience: Being a visible host – engaging with regulars, resolving issues quickly and creating a welcoming, inclusive environment.
What you’ll bring
* Solid experience in bar management or assistant management within a busy pub, sports bar, late-night venue or stadium environment.
* Strong understanding of liquor control, stock systems and GP margins.
* A proven track record of leading teams in high-volume service, especially during busy events or big games.
* Confident, calm and organised under pressure, with a practical, “roll your sleeves up” attitude.
* A passion for hospitality, an eye for detail and pride in a bar that runs like clockwork and looks great.
If you’ve helped run a large bar or multi-bar site and want to step up into a role with more ownership, this could be the ideal next move.
What’s in it for you
* Salary of £33,000 per annum.
* The chance to run a flagship sports bar within a modern, growing sports village.
* Real autonomy to shape the bar offer, standards and guest experience.
* Support from an experienced senior management team and opportunities to grow within the wider business.
