Current opportunities
General Manager, Totternhoe
Location: Totternhoe, Milton Keynes
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a High Volume, Experienced General Manager.
McMullen & Sons Ltd, a family brewer & pub operator based in Hertfordshire are building a new pub in Milton Keynes. We need a General Manager to develop the site into a sustainably profitable business.
The site is in the Tattenhoe area of MK, where family and community is everything.
The successful candidate will have the skills and understand the importance of delivering excellence to our guests – expectations must be exceeded, in standards, quality & service.
You will be heavily involved in getting the pub ready for high volume sales, recruiting your team and intensive, but fun, pre-opening training.
The pub will be the latest in our amazingly successful Chicken & Grill concept, where the chicken from our rotisserie oven and char-grilled meats are the specialities. Full table service is offered all day every day with the menu derived of dishes which can be delivered to the guest in excellent time, with an emphasis on traditional.
The concept isn’t about fresh food, it’s about delivering good, reassuring food with exceptional service in impeccable standards – at high volume (we’re expecting the business to achieve 1500-2000 food covers per week).
We are a family brewer with over 190 years of tradition and fanatical about our ale – we would anticipate the up to 50% of our sales will be from the bar.
An attractive salary package will be offered including 3 bedroom accommodation and bonus scheme.
If you feel that you’re ready for this challenge, then please e mail matt.cotter@mcmullens.co.uk with your CV and a covering letter.
