Macknade creates spaces and experiences that bring communities together around a shared love of food & drink. Encompassing retail, hospitality, events, food service and farming, the Macknade brand has been synonymous with quality and community since 1847. With strong roots in the garden of England and the island of Ischia in Italy, we are on a mission to bring producers, suppliers and consumers closer together in true community spirit.
This is personified by our Café, located at the heart of our Faversham Food Hall, which provides a range of food and drink showcasing our quality produce. Our Café has a bustling daytime trade and a growing evening trade with a variety of events supported by the Front of House team. Throughout the warmer months our fantastic outdoor Food Village offers street style food during the day and into the long, summer evenings.
THE ROLE
Our passionate F&B Team are dedicated to our customers, ensuring they receive our full attention and have a fulfilling, memorable experience. We value our workplace being positive and friendly, where everyone works together as a team and treats each other with respect.
We are looking for an energetic and inspirational Food & Beverage Manager who is passionate about delivering exceptional service at every touchpoint. You will lead by example, ensuring the Macknade vision, ethos, and values shine through in every customer experience.
Our Café boasts a diverse menu and a lively events calendar, so you will need proven experience managing teams in a dynamic, fast-paced environment. You will also be comfortable managing costs and driving profitability with a proactive, creative approach.
More than anything, we want someone who genuinely loves food and drink — someone who will inspire their team with this passion and help us share that excitement with every customer.
If you thrive on leading people, delighting customers, and championing great food and drink, we would love to hear from you.
This is a full time role of 42.5 hours per week which will include weekend and evening work. We offer 28 days holiday per year, which includes Bank Holidays. The salary will be dependent on experience.
