Experienced Café Manager – The Coffee Lodge, Ampthill Great Park

The Coffee Lodge is an independent coffee shop located in the beautiful surroundings of Ampthill Great Park. We currently operate with outdoor seating only, meaning trade can be busy and variable depending on weather and season. We are looking for an experienced Café Manager who is passionate about exceptional coffee, confident in leading teams, and committed to delivering outstanding customer service.

This is a fully hands-on, operational role. There is no office – the manager works on the floor alongside the team every day and leads by example.

The Role

As Café Manager, you will:

Take full responsibility for the day-to-day running of the café
Lead, manage, and motivate a team of approximately 15–20 staff
Be actively involved in all areas of service, including:
Making high-quality coffee
Preparing and serving food and drinks
Delivering excellent customer service
Cleaning duties, including customer toilets
Manage staffing levels, rotas, and performance
Maintain high standards during busy periods and variable trading conditions
Support licensed event evenings during the summer months
Drive sales and uphold quality, consistency, and efficiency
Provide kitchen cover during holidays or days off (chef/cooking experience is advantageous)

About You

To be considered for this role, you must have:

A genuine passion for coffee and high-quality food and drink
Proven experience as a café, coffee shop, or hospitality manager
Excellent communication and organisational skills
A positive, friendly, and professional attitude
Demonstrated experience managing and leading teams
Strong, hands-on leadership skills
High standards, strong attention to detail, and pride in your work
The ability to work efficiently under pressure and in busy environments
Experience driving sales and improving performance
Have a strong understanding of Health & Safety, Food Safety, and Licensing compliance and the ability to train and support staff to meet these standards.

Further Details

Opening hours:
Winter: 8:30am – 4:00pm
Summer: 8:30am – 6:00pm (up to 9:00pm for licensed event evenings, summer only)
Salary based on a 42.5-hour working week
Benefits include:
Friendly working environment
Free tea and coffee
Staff meal provided during shifts
Bonus scheme

All applicants must:

Be flexible with shifts and able to work the majority of weekends
Have a good level of spoken English
Be eligible to live and work in the UK

This role is suited to an experienced manager who enjoys being operational, hands-on, and fully accountable for running a busy café in a unique outdoor setting.

How to Apply

If you are interested, please apply and include a short message telling us what your favourite coffee is and why.
Interviews: Held shortly after the closing date

We look forward to hearing from you.
