Run it like it’s yours. Build something that matters.
Round Corner Brewing is one of the UK’s most awarded independent breweries, built on a belief in doing things properly — no shortcuts, no noise, just great beer and a strong community.
Our Taproom sits at the heart of that. It’s not just a bar — it’s our brand brought to life.
We’re looking for a Taproom Manager who will take full ownership of the space, raise standards, and drive performance — not just maintain it.
The Role
You are accountable for the taproom. That means standards, team, sales, and experience — every day, every shift.
The taproom is currently open Wednesday and Friday evenings and Saturday. A key part of this role is to maximise these trading windows and identify opportunities to extend opening where it makes commercial sense.
This is a hands-on leadership role. You’ll lead from the front, set the pace, and make things happen.
What you’ll own
* Deliver a consistently outstanding experience– Set and maintain high standards across service, cleanliness, atmosphere, and brand execution — no drift, no excuses.
* Lead and develop the team– Recruit, train, and manage a tight, high-performing FOH team. Create clarity, accountability, and energy on every shift.
* Drive sales and performance– Own venue revenue, staffing efficiency, and profitability. You know your numbers and act on them.
* Make the taproom a destination– Plan and execute events that bring people in and keep them coming back — with clear commercial impact.
* Own the operation end-to-end– From bar to stock to webshop fulfilment — you ensure everything runs properly, every time.
* This includes our food offering– we currently have a pizza kitchen, and you will be responsible for reinvigorating it or securing the right food partner to help turn the taproom into a complete destination.
* Bring the brand to life– Be a confident ambassador for Round Corner Brewing — in person, on tours, and in how the taproom shows up day-to-day.
* Work closely with Marketing– Partner with our Marketing & Activations Lead to deliver campaigns, events, and in-taproom activation to a high standard.
* Build for the future– Help create a taproom model that can scale beyond the brewery.
What we’re looking for
* Proven experience running a busy bar, taproom, or hospitality venue
* Delivers on commitments — do what you say you will do, without the need for reminders
* Someone who takes ownership — you don’t wait to be told
* High standards and attention to detail — you notice what others miss
* Commercial awareness — you understand how to drive revenue and control costs
* Strong leadership — you set expectations and follow through
* Energy, pace, and a bias for action
* A genuine interest in beer and hospitality
What this isn’t
This isn’t a passive management role.
If you prefer to delegate, defer, or leave things unfinished — this won’t be the right fit.
What we offer
* Up to 10% OTE, linked to clear taproom performance targets
* 20 days holiday + bank holidays
* Healthcare (after 1 year)
* Beer & merch allowance
* Real opportunity to shape and grow something meaningful
