Our Company Has a Vacancy For a Restaurant Manager

A successful, experienced, and passionate Restaurant Manager who will lead the operations of our FLAGSHIP farm-to-table dining experience. Rooted in sustainability, seasonality, and local sourcing, this role is ideal for an experienced manager who understands that exceptional hospitality begins with provenance, purpose, and a story behind every plate.

The Restaurant Manager will oversee all aspects of the restaurant's front-of-house operations, ensuring service excellence, championing locally driven culinary experiences, and collaborating closely with chefs, farmers, and artisans to bring the farm-to-table ethos to life. The Restaurant Manager will report directly to the Food and Beverage Manager.

  • Maintain the highest standards of hygiene, service etiquette, and guest interaction in line with luxury hospitality expectations.
  • Collaborate with the culinary team to ensure the story of each dish - its ingredients, origin, and preparation - is communicated with authenticity and enthusiasm by the service team.
Sustainability & Sourcing Integration
  • Align with the Estate's commitment to sustainability by championing seasonal menus, ethical sourcing, and local supplier partnerships.
  • Act as a liaison between the kitchen and farm teams, ensuring seamless coordination of produce, seasonal availability, and menu planning.
  • Support eco-conscious dining initiatives, from waste reduction to low-impact service.
