Assistant Manager

Quality Country Pub Group | Berkshire Area

Salary: Approx. £40,000 depending on experience
Hours: Approximately 45–48 hours per week
Rota: 4-day working week (3 days off)

An excellent opportunity has arisen for an Assistant Manager to join a well-established, owner-led pub group in Berkshire.

The role will primarily be based at a highly regarded country pub known for its strong reputation, loyal local following and relaxed but professional service style. There will also be the opportunity to support a sister site nearby, which is currently being developed and re-established under the same ownership.

This is an exciting time to join the business as the second venue continues to grow, offering the chance to become part of a stable and experienced hospitality team with strong operational support already in place.

The Role

Working closely with the ownership and management team, you will play an important role in the day-to-day running of the restaurant and pub floor, helping maintain service standards while supporting the team.

You will:

Support the daily running of the restaurant and bar operations
Lead shifts and ensure smooth, organised service
Maintain strong guest interaction and a welcoming atmosphere
Support the training and development of the front-of-house team
Assist with stock control, organisation and service preparation
Help maintain food presentation and service standards
Occasionally work across both venues to support the wider operation

This role offers genuine variety and the opportunity to develop further within a well-run hospitality business.

The Package

Salary approx £40,000 depending on experience
4-day working week with 3 days off
Approximately 45–48 hours per week
Stable working environment with a strong existing team
Opportunity to gain experience across two established venues

The business is well organised operationally, with dedicated support for HR, payroll and operations, allowing managers to focus on running great service and leading their teams.

The Ideal Candidate

Experience as a Restaurant Supervisor, Duty Manager or Assistant Manager in quality hospitality
Passionate about food, service and guest experience
Confident leading shifts and supporting a team
Friendly, energetic and professional with guests
Organised and calm under pressure during busy services
Looking to grow within a stable hospitality business

Why This Role Stands Out

Owner-led hospitality business with strong team stability
Opportunity to be involved across two respected local venues
4-day working week offering genuine work-life balance
Supportive management structure allowing focus on service and team leadership
Potential to grow further as the business continues to develop

If you are an experienced hospitality professional looking for a stable Assistant Manager role with progression and a balanced working pattern, this is a great opportunity.
