After a career spanning more than three decades, working alongside some of the biggest names in hospitality and building a reputation for exceptional food, high standards and strong team culture, Scott Davis has taken the reins at The Butchers Arms in Llanddarog with a clear vision of creating one of the area’s most exciting dining destinations.
Now he's looking for a Restaurant Manager who shares that vision. Someone who leads from the front. Someone who understands that hospitality is about people as much as plates.

If you're energetic, ambitious and ready to build something special, we'd love to hear from you.
