Job Title: General Manager
An independent East London pub with a strong food focus is seeking an experienced and driven General Manager to lead the business. This is a hands‑on, guest‑focused role within a site that balances dining and drinks equally, making it ideal for a manager who can move confidently between the bar, the floor and the pass.
We’re looking for a leader who can take full ownership of the operation, working closely with the owner while having the autonomy to shape standards, drive revenue and develop the team. This is a rare opportunity to run a respected neighbourhood pub with genuine independence and creative input.
General Manger Benefits:
- £50,000 salary + performance‑based bonus
- Full responsibility for running an established, well‑loved East London pub
- A balanced food‑led and wet‑led business requiring a versatile, hands‑on approach
- Direct collaboration with the owner, with freedom to influence menus, service style and events
- Rotas designed with work‑life balance in mind
- A lively, supportive and enjoyable working environment
- Generous staff discount
General Manager Requirements:
- Proven management experience within a pub, bar or restaurant environment
- Strong understanding of restaurant‑style service and dining room standards
- Confident with wine, cocktails and bar operations
- A practical, adaptable leader who can oversee both FOH and BOH operations
- Ability to motivate, train and develop a team
- Commercial awareness, including stock control, labour management and driving revenue
- Someone who thrives in an independent setting and enjoys taking ownership
