This is an exciting opportunity for a hands on Food and Beverage Manager to join a quality hotel operation near Penrith. The role is focused around one central restaurant, delivering breakfast, lunch, dinner and afternoon tea, with a food style centred around open fire cooking and a refined guest experience.
The restaurant holds a Rosette and can serve up to 70 covers, with steady business throughout the year rather than relying on one peak season. Guests visit for everything from business, conferences and banqueting to family occasions, partner getaways and special treats, creating a varied and consistently busy operation.
This role would suit a dynamic, adaptable and physically present Food and Beverage Manager who enjoys being on the floor, guiding the team and driving service standards. You will oversee between 20 and 30 part time and full time team members, supporting the Restaurant Manager, Bar Team Leader and wider team with rotas, stock takes, ordering, training and day to day service delivery.
Upselling is a key focus for the business, so the right person will need to be confident coaching the team on guest interaction, product knowledge and service opportunities. This is a strong opportunity for someone from a hotel, bistro, restaurant or Rosette background, including a rising star Assistant Food and Beverage Manager who is ready to step up into a full Food and Beverage Manager role.
This role does not provide accommodation, so you must be able to reliably commute or relocate to the area. You must also be able to drive due to the location.
Please note that this role does not provide Sponsorship, to apply you will need a full British Passport or the right to work in the UK.
