General Manager at The Bohemia, North Finchley

Pay: £45,000–£50,000 base, with an achievable 10% bonus scheme

Job Description:

We’re looking for an energetic, ambitious and inspiring Pub General Manager to lead our fantastic team at The Bohemia in North Finchley.

Someone with genuine drive, enthusiasm and a passion for hospitality who can build on the success of an already established and much-loved pub. We took over The Bohemia back in 2014 and, over the years, it has become a real pillar of the local community — something we’re incredibly proud of.

With our on-site brewery, London Brewing Co, regular events and a busy calendar, there’s always something happening at The Bohemia, and no two days are the same. We’re looking for a leader who can take what we’ve built and make it even better — bringing fresh ideas, energy and a real passion for creating great experiences for our guests and our team. The pub seats 350 covers across the bar and garden — so there’s real scale here to get your teeth into.

We’ve recently opened our second London site, Ye Three Lords, and have ambitions to continue growing. We have experience working with some of the UK’s largest pub companies, but we’ve chosen to build something very different. We’re focused on great hospitality, excellent service and empowering our teams, rather than layers of management and endless corporate tick-box exercises.

We’re not a big chain — we’re a small, independent business with two pubs and our own brewery. You’ll have the opportunity to make a real impact from day one, shape the direction of the pub and play an important role in our future growth. You will be part of a close-knit team where people support one another and genuinely care about what we’re building. You’ll report to Owner/Managing Director and lead a team of up to 20 people, working closely with the Assistant Manager and Head Chef to keep everything running smoothly. Check out our reviews to see what a great team we have.

We believe in offering our team a great work-life balance and strong benefits, but we also believe it’s a two-way relationship. In return, we’re looking for someone professional, hardworking and commercially aware, who takes real pride in their pub and genuinely cares about the business, our guests and the people around them.

Requirements:

• A proven track record of successfully running busy pubs and/or bars.
• At least two years’ experience in a senior management or General Manager role.
• Strong leadership skills with the ability to build, motivate and develop a great team.
• A genuine passion for hospitality, service and creating memorable guest experiences.
• Commercially aware, with an understanding of what makes a successful pub.
• Someone who takes ownership, leads by example and isn’t afraid to get stuck in.
• A positive, energetic approach and the ambition to help us make The Bohemia even better.
• Flexible and available to work the hours a busy pub needs, including evenings and weekends (average of 45 hours a week)

Benefits we offer:

• Private medical insurance
• Health & wellbeing programme
• Company pension
• Discounted or free food
• Free parking
• Sick pay
• Store discount
