Be the driving force behind day-to-day F&B delivery across the whole site. This is a hands-on leadership role at the heart of one of Surrey's busiest visitor attractions. At Godstone Farm, you'll take day-to-day ownership of F&B delivery across every outlet on site – café, restaurant, grab-and-go kiosks, and seasonal or event catering – serving over 250,000 visitors a year. You'll be the person on the floor making sure every outlet runs smoothly, every day, allowing the F&B Manager to focus on strategy, growth, and commercial development.
This role is ideal for an experienced team leader or supervisor ready for their next step up – moving beyond a single outlet or shift to help lead operations across the whole F&B offering.
What you'll be doing:
- Run the day-to-day across every outlet
- Take operational responsibility for F&B delivery across the site, not just one outlet:
- Restaurant and café
- Grab-and-go kiosks
- Seasonal and event catering
- Be the go-to person on the floor
- Lead from the front during peak trading, acting as the first point of contact for staff and guests across all outlets:
- Step in wherever the operation needs support
- Make fast, sensible calls on staffing, service, and stock
- Escalate to the F&B Manager when it genuinely needs their input
- Support commercial performance
- Build and lead the team across the site
- Uphold standards everywhere
- Support the F&B Manager to work strategically
What we're looking for:
- Experience leading a shift or a team in a fast-paced hospitality or catering environment
- Supervisory or team-leading experience in hospitality, catering or a similar customer-facing environment
- A hands-on leader who's comfortable moving between areas during busy periods
- Ability to train, motivate and manage a small team
- Stays calm, organised and decisive under pressure
- Keen to grow into a bigger, more varied role than a single-outlet position
The reality of the role (and why it's rewarding):
Our business is highly seasonal and weather-dependent, with peak periods driven by school holidays, weekends and events. This creates a fast-paced, high-energy environment where strong day-to-day leadership has a direct and visible impact.
In return, you'll benefit from:
- A varied role with responsibility across the whole F&B operation
- A predominantly daytime-focused operation
- The opportunity to work in a unique outdoor, family-focused environment
- Genuine scope to grow into broader operational or management responsibility
Experience & qualifications:
- Experience as a supervisor or team leader in F&B or hospitality
- Good organisational and communication skills
- Ability to lead, motivate and support a team
- Level 3 Food Safety (or willingness to work towards it) desirable
This is a full-time role requiring flexibility, including weekends, bank holidays and peak trading periods.
