Food & Beverage Manager – Brighton
Hello Brighton
Ready to make some waves in Brighton? Pearly Cow Brighton is on the hunt for a Food & Beverage Operations Manager who can keep all plates spinning (and glasses clinking) across our vibrant F&B scene.
From the indulgent delights of our Pearly Cow Restaurant to our sun-soaked (well… occasionally sun-soaked) beach-facing terrace and buzzing events space, you’ll be at the helm of an operation that’s anything but ordinary. This is your chance to bring serious flavour, personality, and a splash of seaside sparkle to one of Brighton’s most exciting hospitality spots.
This is a full-time role (45 hours per week) with a pay package of 58k OTE
What You’ll Be Doing
Steering the ship across all F&B outlets – restaurant, terrace, bar, and events (captain’s hat optional, leadership essential)
Keeping Pearly Cow running smoother than a perfectly shucked oyster, even at breakfast!
Driving revenue like it’s a Bank Holiday weekend – think creative events, clever upselling, and packed-out terraces
Leading, coaching, and inspiring a team that’s as bright as the Brighton Pier
Working closely with the Head Chef to keep menus fresh, seasonal, and seriously tempting
Making sure every event goes off without a hitch, including our guest’s getting hitched!
Watching the numbers as closely as the weather forecast – managing costs, stock, and performance
Being a visible host who knows when to chat, charm, and check in with our guests
About You
A seasoned F&B pro who knows their way around a busy floor and a P&L
A natural people person – you can lead a team and win over guests in equal measure
Commercially savvy, with a knack for turning great experiences into great results
Cool under pressure, even when the terrace is three-deep and the ros is flowing
Experienced across multi-outlet venues (bonus points for events and outdoor spaces)
As comfortable rolling up your sleeves as you are planning strategy
A genuine love for food, drink, and the Brighton buzz
What You’ll Get
Competitive salary + bonus (because hard work deserves more than just chips on the side)
The chance to put your stamp on a standout seaside destination
Career growth within a boutique group that’s going places
Team perks, discounts, and plenty of reasons to stick around after your shift
How to Apply If you’re ready to bring the fizz, keep things shipshape, and add your own sparkle to Brighton’s hospitality scene, we’d love to hear from you. Apply now and let’s make some seaside magic happen
