The Rose & Crown Hotel is strengthening its senior F&B; management structure as the owners step back from the day-to-day management of the F&B; operation to concentrate more on business development, major projects and the future growth of the venue.
We are seeking an experienced Senior Food & Beverage Manager for a broad, hands-on operational leadership role across our restaurants, bars, beer gardens, functions and events.
Reporting to our General Manager, who has been with the business for more than 16 years, you will work alongside an established senior management team including our Restaurant Manager, Bar Manager, AVM, Functions/Duty Management team and Executive Chef, within a solid hospitality team of more than 70 staff.
You will take responsibility for the day-to-day F&B; operation, lead and coordinate the management team and progressively take greater ownership as you learn the Rose & Crown, our people and our systems.
The owners remain actively involved in the business, particularly in strategy, development and major projects. We are looking for someone who enjoys working as part of an established management team and can take genuine responsibility for F&B; operations without everything having to flow back to the owners.
With a new Craft Beer & Wine Bar opening soon, continued investment in the venue and further hospitality projects planned, this is an opportunity for an experienced hospitality operator looking for genuine responsibility, variety and career progression.
