General Manager with Accommodation - Milton Keynes

We are looking for an experienced General Manager to run the Old Beams, part of our Destination Inns concept. A McMullen house since 1995, the Old Beams was rebuilt after a fire in 2007. Enjoy seriously relaxed dining in this hidden country gem at the heart of Shenley Lodge. With the remnants of the historical pub abutted to the newer oak framed barn, the ingeniously reconstructed Old Beams is a glorious triumph of gastronomy over adversity! Dine inside warmed by log fires in the vaulted oak barn or private dining rooms of the old pub or, weather permitting, alfresco in the garden or patio.

This is a great food business with a strong reputation locally and potential to grow. The right candidate will have a proven track record of growing sales in a volume food led business, a strong people skillset and a desire to build and lead an engaged team.

The ideal candidate will be a creative, energetic problem solver who wants to make this pub stand out by putting their own stamp on the business, developing a strong team, engaging guests through events and social media but most of all focussing on the basics to ensure we deliver the Destination experience.
