We are looking for someone who wants to take full control of a multi-outlet operation, build a team that performs, and raise standards across the board. This is a hands-on leadership role at the heart of a busy, high-potential business. Set within a Grade I listed country estate, Broome Park Hotel is not a one-outlet operation; it’s a complex environment with a restaurant, bar, weddings & events, conference business, and a golf operation. If you want variety, pace, and real responsibility, this is it.

The Role

  • You’ll take ownership of all Food & Beverage operations across:
  • Restaurant & Bar
  • Weddings, Conferences & Events
  • Golf outlets

This isn’t about maintaining standards; it’s about driving them. You’ll lead from the front, build a strong, accountable team, and deliver consistently high-quality service while keeping tight control of costs and performance.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Leading, developing and challenging your team to perform
  • Setting and driving service standards across all outlets
  • Owning rotas, staffing levels, and productivity
  • Managing budgets, forecasts, and departmental performance
  • Working closely with the kitchen to ensure consistency and quality
  • Ensuring full compliance (food safety, H&S, licensing)
  • Acting as Duty Manager within the leadership team

What We’re Looking For

  • Proven experience as a Food & Beverage Manager (minimum 2 years)
  • Background in a 4* hotel or similar fast-paced environment
  • A strong leader who can build a team and get results
  • High standards and attention to detail
  • Calm under pressure and confident in your decisions

Why This Role?

This is not a keep things running job. This is your chance to take ownership of a key department, shape the team, drive performance, and make a visible impact on the business. If you want responsibility, autonomy, and the opportunity to build something better—not just manage what’s already there—you’ll fit here.
