We are looking for an experienced and motivated Restaurant Manager to lead the day-to-day operations of our busy and much-loved restaurant and bar, located not just in our beautifully converted 18th-century barn but also across our stunning outdoor area and grounds at The Watermill.

More Details

This is a unique and exciting opportunity to work with a fantastic and highly respected theatre company, renowned for its creativity and ambition. The Watermill Theatre is not only a producing powerhouse but also a vibrant and collaborative place to work, where hospitality and theatre are closely connected, working hand-in-hand to create outstanding experiences for both audiences and customers.

This is a hands-on and varied role that combines leadership, customer service, and operational management. You will be responsible for maintaining high standards across all aspects of the restaurant, ensuring exceptional guest experiences, managing a front-of-house team, and working closely with the kitchen, theatre, and events teams to support a thriving hospitality offer that complements the work on stage.
