Ready to take the next step in your hospitality career? This is an exciting opportunity to join a stunning 21-bedroom, Grade I listed country house hotel set within 108 acres of beautiful woodland and gardens near Tavistock, on the Devon/Cornwall border.
With a restaurant renowned for its modern British cuisine, seasonal menus, and locally sourced produce, this hotel is a firm favourite in the county — and now they’re looking for a passionate, driven Assistant Restaurant Manager to help lead the team.
Why This Role Stands Out
This isn’t just another management position. It’s a chance to:
- Play a key leadership role in a highly regarded hotel and restaurant
- Lead service for functions and small weddings
- Be part of the management team and take responsibility for the hotel in the evenings
- Shape and train a motivated front-of-house team
- Deliver exceptional dining experiences every single day
What You’ll Be Doing
- Ensuring consistently high standards of food and beverage service
- Supporting, coaching, and inspiring the restaurant team
- Working closely with the kitchen and senior management
- Maintaining excellent attention to detail in a fast-paced environment
- Developing your wine knowledge and contributing to the beverage offering
What They’re Looking For
- A confident, positive hospitality professional
- Strong food and service knowledge
- Natural leadership skills with a hands-on approach
- A genuine passion for guest experience
- A full UK driving licence (essential)
What’s In It For You?
- £30,000–£35,500 salary (depending on experience and contracted hours)
- Approx. £5,000 per year in service charge/gratuities
- Guaranteed 40–48 hours per week (flexible options available)
- Mainly straight shifts (with occasional split shifts)
- Staff accommodation available while relocating
If you’re ambitious, customer-focused, and ready to make your mark in one of the region’s most respected country house hotels, this could be the perfect next step.
Apply today and bring your passion for exceptional service to a team that truly values it.
