Warm, friendly, community-owned country pub

Are you a passionate, people-focused General Manager - or

an Assistant Manager ready to step up who loves everything about a genuine country pub?

The Alhampton Inn, known locally as “the Ally”, is a community-owned, dog-friendly, wet-led pub at the heart of village life, offering great drinks, quality food and a warm welcome to locals, families and visitors alike.

The opportunity

• Take charge of an established pub full of character, with real scope to help grow the business and bring fresh ideas to its events and atmosphere
• Lead a successful drinks operation and develop our food offer, with a focus on quality, value and consistency
• Build strong links with the village and beyond, making the Ally a genuine destination
• Recruit, inspire and develop a fantastic team
• Own commercial performance - sales, costs and a healthy P&L - supported by an established Management Committee

What we’re looking for

• An experienced pub General Manager, or an Assistant Manager ready to step up to their first GM role. We welcome applications from candidates with less experience, as the role can include support and training to help you grow into it.
• A Personal Licence holder - this is essential
• Someone who values both a lively, welcoming bar and affordable quality food
• A natural host who loves being on the floor and leading from the front
• Strong commercial awareness and people skills, with high standards and a genuine passion for hospitality and community

Ideal for someone who thrives in a lively, fast-paced pub and takes pride in building a loyal following, both locally and further afield.
