McManus Pub Group is looking for an ambitious Deputy General Manager to help lead Brampton Halt, one of our flagship Destination dining pubs. Set beside the Northampton & Lamport Railway, it's a high-volume, food-led site with a large garden trade and a loyal local following. The role: You'll be the General Manager's right hand — running shifts with full accountability for service standards, team performance and the guest experience, and taking charge of the site in the GM's absence. You'll own key operational areas such as rotas, stock and cellar management, training and compliance, and you'll be hands-on through peak trade, leading the floor by example. You'll also get real exposure to the commercial side of the business — labour, GP and sales data (we run Tenzo analytics across the estate) — as preparation for your own site. About you: You're an experienced supervisor, assistant or deputy manager from a busy food-led pub or restaurant, ready to step up. You run a tight, energetic shift, care about detail, and know how to get the best out of a team. You live our GRIT values: Give Great Energy, Raise the Bar, If it's broke fix it, Try it. Own it. Trailblaze. The package: Competitive salary, meals on duty, staff discount across our 18 sites, and a genuine pathway to General Manager within a growing, ambitious independent group — we promote from within wherever we can.
