personality. Big opportunity.

brand new bar refurbishment. This role is all about owning that bar and helping
us launch it properly.

The vibe
This isn't a 'clipboard
in the corner' kind of job. You'll be on the floor, in the action, leading
shifts, setting the energy, and making sure guests feel the buzz the moment
they walk in. We're looking for
someone who loves bars, understands restaurants, and gets a kick out of
building something special from the ground up.
Who we are
Wildwood (part of the
Bow Street Group) has been doing Italian inspired food, great cocktails, and
characterful venues since 2006. Every site has its own look and feel, but one
thing stays the same: Casual excellence. Full table
service, delivered with flair, confidence, and personality. No scripts. No
robotic service. Just great hospitality.
With 30 restaurants and
big expansion plans for 2026, there's serious room to grow with us.
What you'll be owning
1. Full
control of the bar - standards, training, stock, service, the lot
2. Being
visible and vocal on the floor during busy services
3. Jumping
in when standards slip (and making sure they don't again)
4. Setting
the tone for service style, pace, and behaviour
5. Training
a bar team that actually enjoys coming to work
6. Stock
takes, ordering, and labour control (you know the drill)
7. Dreaming
up new ideas, menus, and moments that bring people through the door
You'll smash this if
you are…
8. A
proper operator who runs a tight ship without killing the fun
9. A
natural leader who sets expectations and sticks to them
10. Confident
managing both food and drink service
11. From a
branded hospitality background (ideal, not essential)
12. The
type who loves launching ideas once the foundations are solid
Why this role is a
big deal
13. You'll
play a key role in launching a freshly refurbed bar
14. Iconic
Liverpool city centre location
15. Real
freedom to bring your personality and ideas to the table
16. Staff
meals, great perks, and real progression across a growing group

a busy floor, thrive on responsibility, and want to put your stamp on a bar
with huge potential this one's for you.
