Assistant Manager – Dog & Fox WimbledonUp to 32k plus great Service Charge
Fancy Running the Show (Without All the Blame)?
The Dog and Fox is on the hunt for an Assistant Manager — someone who can keep the drinks flowing, the team motivated, the customers happy, and occasionally find the missing bottle opener. We’re looking for a hospitality all‑rounder with personality, confidence, and the ability to smile through a Saturday night rush while someone asks if the kitchen is still serving at 9:59pm.
The role also includes supporting the day‑to‑day running of our hotel rooms, making this a brilliant opportunity for someone wanting to add another string to their bow and gain experience across multiple areas of hospitality. If you love pubs, people, organised chaos, and the occasional free chip theft from the pass, you might fit right in!
About us
The Dog & Fox is an iconic pub with rooms in the heart of Wimbledon Village. We are an established events venue, pub, dining serving a premium collection of draught & craft beers, local London spirits and fine wines. We offer the best in seasonal, fresh, British produce for our menu and have 25 exquisite bedrooms. Just a 10‑minute walk from Wimbledon train station and on several bus routes we are easy to reach and busy all year long. With Wimbledon Tennis Championships in the summer and Christmas functions throughout the winter there is never a boring moment at the Dog & Fox Hotel! Nearest public transport – Wimbledon Train Station or 93 Bus.
