General Manager – Restaurant & Lifestyle OperationWiltshire up to £50,000 + perksThis one’s for someone who loves rolling up their sleeves, taking charge, and genuinely shaping how a business runs.This isn’t a corporate gig. It’s a beautiful, family-run operation that’s evolved over the last 10 years – part restaurant, part garden, part wedding venue, and completely unique. The owners are ready to step back a little, but they need someone exceptional to take the reins and bring structure, consistency, and commercial focus to the day-to-day.The Role:
You’ll be the person who grips the front-of-house operation – leading, training, driving standards, and creating accountability.There’s a small team in place, including a Restaurant Manager and Assistant Restaurant Manager. This role is about transforming how things run: improving stock control, tightening processes, owning bookings, and bringing a commercial mindset to everything from reviews to revenue.It’s hands-on, visible leadership – being on the floor, building community relationships, and ensuring the guest experience matches the potential of the setting. You’ll work closely with the owners and the Head Chef, who’s heavily involved in the food and wider operations, but you’ll have autonomy to make real change and build the business up for its next chapter.This place runs weddings (15–30 a year) alongside a thriving restaurant and shop, so it needs someone who can keep multiple plates spinning. It’s closed Mondays and Tuesdays, and while weekends are busy, it’s a lifestyle role for the right person – more about running a beautiful, purpose-led venue than chasing late-night bar trade.
Who will you be?
They’re open-minded on background – maybe you’ve worked somewhere similar in a country house-style operation, or maybe you’re a strong Restaurant Manager ready for that next step from a standards led restaurant or hotel.What matters is hunger, self-sufficiency, and the confidence to spot what needs improving and get on with it.
Interviews are refreshingly human – think coffee, a good chat, maybe lunch, and if relocations on the cards, they’ll even offer a night’s stay to soak up the atmosphere.It’s one of those roles that doesn’t come around often – real ownership, in a stunning setting, with the freedom to make your mark.Get in touch – kate@corecruitment.com....Read more...
