The role

General Manager - Modern British Pub - Up to £60,000 per year + Bonus - Live-in Opportunity Available

The George & Dragon is a neighbourhood pub in the heart of Wanstead. Good food, well-kept drinks, busy Sundays and a proper local following.

We're looking for an experienced General Manager who knows how to run a London pub, build a strong team and spot opportunities to grow the business.

Food is a big part of the offer, from midweek dining to Sunday roasts, followed by lively Sunday sessions. With live sport, private spaces and plenty of reasons to bring people together, there's real scope to build trade throughout the week.

You'll know your regulars, get to know the neighbourhood and have the commercial understanding to turn a busy pub into a successful business.

There's room to put your own stamp on The George & Dragon. We want someone with good judgement, high standards and the drive to make it Wanstead's best pub.

If this sounds like your kind of pub, you might be our kind of General Manager.

What you'll do

Oversee daily operations and ensure an exceptional guest experience.
Lead and inspire a team to deliver top-tier service, with a focus on consistently delivering our high-quality food offering.
Manage food and drink offerings, ensuring our menu is fresh, exciting, and keeps customers coming back.
Drive sales and profitability while maintaining operational efficiency.
Maintain the function room as a sought-after event space.
Create a lively and welcoming atmosphere for all.

What We're Looking For

Proven senior management experience in hospitality.
Strong knowledge of gastropub food and drink.
A hands-on leader who thrives in a busy environment.
Passion for customer service and team leadership.
Someone who wants to embed themselves in the Wanstead community and become a key part of the pub's culture.
