Lead and grow a high-volume, multi-outlet F&B operation

This is a senior, hands-on leadership role at the heart of one of Surrey’s busiest visitor attractions.

At Godstone Farm, you’ll take full ownership of a multi-outlet food and beverage operation serving over 250,000 visitors a year. From our café and restaurant to grab-and-go kiosks and seasonal event catering, you’ll be responsible not just for running the operation - but continuously improving and growing it.

This role is ideal for a commercially-minded operator who thrives in high-volume environments and is ready to take the next step into true departmental leadership.

What you’ll be doing

Lead a high-performing F&B operation

Oversee all food and beverage activity across the site, ensuring a consistently high standard of quality, speed, and service across:

Café and restaurant
Grab-and-go kiosks
Seasonal and event-based catering

You’ll ensure the operation runs smoothly during both peak and off-peak periods, adapting quickly to demand.

Drive commercial performance

Take full accountability for F&B performance, with a clear focus on:

Increasing spend per head
Improving gross margin and cost control
Managing labour efficiency and productivity
Reducing waste and optimising stock control

You’ll actively identify and implement opportunities to improve profitability and performance across all outlets.

Lead from the front - then build a team that scales

You’ll be highly visible during peak trading, leading by example and supporting your team.

At the same time, you’ll:

Develop strong supervisors and team leaders
Build a structure that reduces day-to-day dependency on you
Improve team capability, retention, and engagement

Improve and evolve the F&B offer

Use data, insight, and customer feedback to:

Refine menus and pricing
Improve service flow and throughput during peak periods
Introduce new ideas that enhance both guest experience and commercial return

You’ll play a key role in shaping how F&B contributes to the overall visitor experience.

Plan ahead, not just react

Lead seasonal and event planning across the F&B operation, ensuring:

The business is fully prepared for peak trading periods
Staffing, stock, and service models are aligned to demand
Lessons are captured and improvements implemented year-on-year

What we’re looking for

You’ll be an experienced F&B leader with a background in high-volume hospitality, leisure, or visitor attractions, and ready to take ownership of a complex, fast-paced operation.

We’re particularly looking for someone who:

Is a hands-on leader who thrives during busy service periods
Has experience managing multiple outlets or high-volume environments
Demonstrates strong commercial awareness and understands how to drive profit
Has a track record of improving performance, not just maintaining it
Can develop and lead large, often seasonal teams
Is comfortable using data and insight to inform decisions
Stays calm, organised, and effective under pressure

The reality of the role (and why it’s rewarding)

Our business is highly seasonal and weather-dependent, with peak periods driven by school holidays, weekends, and events.

This creates a fast-paced, high-energy environment where strong leadership has a direct and visible impact.

In return, you’ll benefit from:

A varied and dynamic role with real responsibility
A predominantly daytime-focused operation, offering a strong alternative to late-night hospitality
The opportunity to work in a unique outdoor, family-focused environment
Genuine autonomy to influence and develop the F&B operation
A clear opportunity to grow into broader operational leadership

Experience & qualifications

Proven experience in a Food & Beverage Manager or senior leadership role
Background in high-volume hospitality, leisure, or visitor attractions preferred
Strong commercial and financial management experience
Experience with stock control, forecasting, and labour planning
Proven ability to lead, develop, and structure teams
Level 3 Food Safety (or equivalent) desirable

Additional information

This is a full-time role requiring flexibility, including weekends, bank holidays, and peak trading periods.
