General Manager - Live-in Available - Up to £48k

The Red Lion in Histon is looking for an exceptional General Manager to take the reins. Recently recognised with Cambridge CAMRA's coveted Pub of the Year Award, and home to one of the longest-running beer festivals in England, The Red Lion is a beautiful, historic pub full of traditional character, fascinating history and a proud heritage as a beer house dating back to 1836.

Known for its local pub sports teams, including pétanque, darts and crib, annual beer festivals and rugby events, this is a pub with a genuine community spirit. There's also a fantastic rotating selection of local real ales, ciders and perries on tap, alongside a kitchen serving freshly prepared, seasonal British pub classics with a twist.

As General Manager, you'll be looking after of one of Histon's most historic and popular pubs. There's plenty of space to make your own, with two distinct bars inside, a fantastic beer garden complete with an operating pizza shed, the semi-private Bottle Room accommodating up to 30 guests, and four modern en-suite double bedrooms. Welcoming a strong village community, beer enthusiasts and visitors drawn by its fantastic reputation, the ideal General Manager will understand what makes a traditional village pub so special, from championing its rich heritage and building strong relationships within the local community to bringing fresh energy and personality to the business.

We believe pubs should be differentiated and individual and so we are looking for entrepreneurial General Managers to put their own stamp on our businesses. We're all about freedom within a framework - you decide what goes on the food menu - and that doesn't mean picking from a bank of recipes! You tailor your offer to your guests and grow the business in line with your business vision! You decide what events and sales driving to do, what the team uniform is, and look after all your own recruitment and marketing. If you are a people-focused Pub General Manager with fresh food experience, then we want to hear from you.

We are looking for a creative & entrepreneurial General Manager to join and lead our team in our stylish, food focused pub. As the successful General Manager, you will embrace the autonomy given to run your business and offer unique ideas to drive your team to success. You will have a genuine passion for exceptional customer service and a pro-active approach to team management. You will recruit & develop your team to ensure they have the knowledge needed to delight our customers. You will also be someone who is committed to their career in hospitality and we can offer ongoing development to support you as you grow and succeed with us.

Thanks for your interest in working with Youngs. If you'd like to be part of our team, then apply now!
