A large, high-volume venue is looking for a commercially driven General Manager to take full ownership of performance, culture, and standards. This is a £60–70k weekly net sales business with a 60/40 food-led offer, strong corporate trade, and a major focus on events and private hire. The site includes a sizeable indoor space, an upstairs area, and a busy external terrace that comes into its own during summer, with trading running until midnight on weekends.

The role:

• Full accountability for a £60–70k weekly revenue business, driving sales across food, drink, and events
• Lead, develop, and embed a strong team culture across a headcount of around 50
• Maximise revenue through corporate bookings, private hire, and seasonal trading opportunities
• Ensure consistent delivery of operational standards across a large, multifaceted site
• Work closely with an established AGM and Assistant Manager to maintain structure and performance
• Oversee the planning and execution of high-volume events, ensuring smooth delivery and repeat business
• Take ownership of P&L performance, identifying opportunities to grow revenue and control costs

The person:

• Proven General Manager with a strong track record in sales-driven environments
• Experience leading large, complex venues with a mix of dining, events, and high-volume trade
• Commercially sharp, with a clear understanding of how to drive revenue and maximise profit
• Strong people leader, able to build, motivate, and retain high-performing teams
• Confident managing corporate bookings and private hire at scale
• Detail-focused operator who delivers consistency without losing pace
• A natural fit for the culture - hands-on, driven, and focused on results
