We never rest on our laurels and are looking for our next Venue Manager to continue to push our standards higher.

• Let's talk experience - A minimum 5 years in the hospitality industry with 2 years at management level in a similar style venue, preferable restaurant, is required for this role. The ideal candidate will have a solid understanding of, and appreciation for service, front of house operations, cocktails and spirits, and a passion for unparalleled service. 

To succeed we strongly believe in providing the support in order to benefit the successful candidate.
