Job Description

General Manager - The Fountain, Ingbirchworth

(Between Barnsley & Penistone)

OTE: 42,000 per year (Base salary: 35,000-37,000 + bonus + gratuities)

Full-time | Permanent | Immediate start available

The Fountain isn't just a pub - it's where our village comes together. From cosy Sunday roasts to bustling quiz nights, from lazy lunches to live music evenings, we're proud to be a true community hub. With a brand-new Head Chef on board, we're raising the bar with a

modern gastro pub offering

big flavours, fresh seasonal ingredients, and dishes worth shouting about (and Instagramming!).

Now, we're looking for a

General Manager

to bring it all together - someone who can run a slick operation while also being the heart and soul of the pub.

What You'll Be Doing

Day-to-day leadership:

Running the pub floor with confidence, charm, and a hands-on approach.

Being the face of The Fountain:

Building brilliant relationships with locals, welcoming new faces, and making sure every guest leaves happier than when they arrived.

Food-led focus:

Working closely with our Head Chef to shape menus, celebrate seasonal produce, and deliver food events (think steak nights, Sunday feasts, gala menus).

Community & events:

Creating and promoting a buzzing calendar of activities - live music, pub quizzes, themed nights, charity fundraisers, beer festivals, and more.

Team leadership:

Inspiring, training, and supporting a passionate front-of-house and bar team who care about what they do.

Smooth operations:

Managing stock, rotas, and compliance while keeping standards sky-high.

Marketing & socials:

Showcasing what we do best through creative local marketing and a lively online presence.

What We're Looking For

Experience running or supervising a busy pub, bar, or restaurant. A natural host with a people-first approach and a real love of hospitality. Confidence in both sides of the job: from managing profit & loss to pulling a perfect pint. Passion for quality food and drink, with ideas to elevate our gastro pub offering. Someone who thrives on building community, hosting events, and creating a place where everyone feels welcome. Organised, commercially savvy, and happy rolling up their sleeves to get stuck in.

What You'll Get

OTE of 42,000

(base salary 35k-37k + bonus + gratuities). Support from an experienced central team in finance, marketing & operations. The chance to collaborate with a

talented new Head Chef

on menus and events. A loyal customer base and the opportunity to grow it even further. A fun, supportive team environment where no two days are the same.
