General Manager - The Kerfield Arms

- Full Time, On Site
Job Description
After 18 glorious months, our General Manager, Mark, is moving on to pastures new. As such, we are now recruiting his successor.
We are a busy neighbourhood pub in Camberwell, focused on food and exceptional, knowledgeable service. Having been awarded a Michelin star in 2026, we strike a delicate balance between pub and restaurant, with a room full of drinkers mingling harmoniously alongside diners. Our service is informed but relaxed, without ever missing a beat.
The pub is large and divided into two distinct areas: a restaurant exclusively for diners and a bar that accommodates a mixture of walk-in drinkers and guests booked in for food. We also have a private dining room seating 24 and, during spring and summer, an additional 50 covers outside.
You will oversee a management team of three Assistant General Managers and two supervisors. We also have a Head of Wine who oversees our training programme. Across the floor and bar, we have a further 10 team members, alongside 10 chefs in the kitchen, led by our Head Chef and business partner, Jay.
The role is 48 hours per week, spread across seven shifts, one of which is dedicated to admin every Tuesday. We close on Sunday evenings and all day Monday, and enjoy an extended Christmas break from 24th December to 5th January.
Job Requirements
Whilst Michelin experience is not essential, we do require experience in a food-focused pub or restaurant where service is delivered to a consistently high standard. A strong understanding of fresh produce and cooking techniques is essential, as is experience running a busy venue and leading a sizeable team.
We see our General Manager as an integral part of the business and offer a generous performance-related bonus scheme to reflect this. You'll have full visibility of the P&L and attend four-weekly financial meetings, giving you genuine involvement in the commercial performance and direction of the business.
Key responsibilities include:
- Weekly financial reporting
- Stocktaking and stock control
- Staff rotas and labour management
- Maintaining exceptional service standards
- Management team development and training
- Overseeing product development
In return, we offer:
- Excellent remuneration, including a generous bonus scheme
- 50% dining discount at both The Kerfield Arms and The Baring
- Wine at cost price
- An extended Christmas break
- An encouraging, inclusive and supportive working environment
