Let’s be completely honest. Running a bustling pub is tough enough. Adding high-volume meetings and events into the mix takes serious stamina. We are looking for a Food and Beverage Assistant Manager who can seamlessly switch gears from pouring the perfect pint in the Pub & Grill to executing a flawless 300‑person gala dinner. Your focus is to support the F&B Operations Manager, driving consistent standards, protecting our profit performance, and obsessing over the guest experience across all our food and beverage spaces.
About Village
At Village, we do hospitality differently. We are all about personality, genuine connections, and creating great experiences for our guests and each other. That is why we back our teams to take ownership, learn new skills, and grow their careers. Previous supervisory or management experience in food and beverage is essential, but your attitude and energy matter just as much to us. If you are a grafter who leads from the front, thrives on the floor, and knows how to rally a team when a massive event is kicking off at the exact same time the pub is packed, we will give you the platform to shine.
Responsibilities
- Floor Leadership: Create intensity around service that drives the performance of the team, whether they are working a busy Friday night in the Pub & Grill or a complex corporate event.
- Commercial Control: Review wage costs to ensure staffing levels are spot on, maintain accurate stock par levels, and ensure best practice for voids, refunds, and health and safety compliance.
- Local Marketing: Act as our social media champion with a robust calendar of activity, support outreach plans, and help us achieve a top 10 TripAdvisor ranking in the local area.
- Product Passion: Conduct tastings, run daily briefings to test the team on menu and drinks knowledge, and ensure everyone knows exactly which products deliver the best GP.
Qualifications
- Previous supervisory or management experience in food and beverage.
- Strong floor leadership skills and ability to handle simultaneous high‑volume meetings and pub service.
- Commercial awareness to meet budgeted revenue, beverage gross profit, and payroll targets.
- Excellent communication skills and a willingness to mentor F&B team members.
Benefits
- Gym Membership: 2 x complimentary gym memberships at your home hotel.
- Hotel Stays: Hotel rooms from 20 across 34 hotels.
- Food & Drink: 50% off food and drink for you and up to 5 guests, plus 75% off Sunday dinner for up to 6 people.

Think you’ve got the right energy? We are not looking for corporate robots. We are looking for great leaders who put heart and soul into their service. If you are a high‑performing manager ready to step up and own both the pub and the events floor, we want to hear from you. Bring your personality, your drive, and your ambition. Hit apply, tell us why you love a fast‑paced F&B environment, and let’s see if we are a match.
