Executive Assistant Manager of Food & Beverage in North Leigh

At Estelle Manor, we do things differently. Set within a breathtaking countryside estate, we are not just a luxury hotel or a private members’ club, but a place where timeless elegance meets creative energy, where every detail is considered, and where hospitality is delivered with warmth, personality, and flair.

We are now seeking an exceptional Executive Assistant Manager of Food & Beverage to take the helm of one of the most diverse and exciting F&B operations in the UK. This is your chance to shape, influence, and elevate a multi-concept dining destination at the very highest level.

The Role

As Executive Assistant Manager of Food & Beverage, you will lead a dynamic portfolio of restaurants, bars, events, and in-room dining experiences across the estate. From vibrant all-day dining to refined destination restaurants and unforgettable events, you will be at the heart of it all. You will combine strategic oversight with a visible, hands-on approach, setting the tone for excellence while driving innovation, performance, and unforgettable guest experiences.

What You’ll Be Leading

• The Brasserie, elegant all-day dining
• The Billiards Room, a bold and refined Chinese concept
• The Glasshouse, a fresh garden-to-table experience
• The Armory, a distinctive Japanese dining destination
• The Living Room, relaxed yet refined
• In-room dining, delivering luxury in every detail
• A collection of event spaces, including the spectacular Fallow House

Each concept has its own identity. Your role is to ensure they all shine individually while aligning seamlessly under the Estelle Manor brand.

What You’ll Be Doing

Leadership & Culture
You will inspire and lead a high-performing senior team, including Assistant Directors and General Managers, creating a culture defined by excellence, collaboration, and pride. You will be a visible presence, a mentor, and a driving force behind the energy of the estate.

Guest Experience
You will champion a guest-first approach, ensuring every interaction feels personal, seamless, and truly memorable. From the smallest detail to the biggest moment, you will set the standard.

Commercial Performance
With full ownership of F&B performance, you will drive revenue, manage costs intelligently, and identify new opportunities to grow and evolve the offering, all while maintaining exceptional quality.

Events & Experiences
From high-profile events to seasonal activations, you will oversee a calendar that keeps the estate vibrant, relevant, and always one step ahead. You will continuously evolve the F&B landscape, contributing to new concepts, fresh ideas, and experiences that set Estelle Manor apart. Working closely with the General Manager and executive team, you will play a key role in shaping the wider business strategy and ensuring alignment across all departments.

Who We’re Looking For

• A proven senior F&B leader, currently operating at Director level or as a multi-site General Manager within luxury or lifestyle hospitality
• Strong experience within the UK market, ideally across both hotels and members’ clubs
• A natural leader who thrives in fast-paced, ever-evolving environments
• Commercially astute, with a sharp eye for both performance and opportunity
• Creative, forward-thinking, and passionate about delivering standout guest experiences
• Confident managing large, complex teams and influencing at senior level
• Experienced in delivering exceptional events and innovative activations

Because this is not ordinary hospitality. This is a place where you can lead boldly, think creatively, and be part of something genuinely special. A place where your impact will be seen, felt, and remembered. If you are ready to take on a role that is as exciting as it is rewarding, we would love to hear from you.
