Restaurant Manager Full Time

Background

The Nare Hotel, positioned as ‘the country house hotel by the sea’, is Cornwall’s top luxury hotel. Sitting in its own grounds, overlooking a beach with perfect sea views, the hotel offers traditional standards of comfort, luxury, and service that are increasingly difficult to find in the modern world. Rated by the AA as a 5-hotel. The hotel is set in some 8 acres, has 45 well-appointed rooms, a traditional ‘Dining Room’ and a fine dining restaurant. In addition, the hotel offers a broad range of leisure facilities including tennis, indoor and outdoor swimming pools, a small spa with three treatment rooms and a 38’ motor launch which takes guests on excursions.

The Nare has now also entered a phase of significant growth with the development of further accommodation in the form of 4 extremely spacious two-bedroom suites. This coincides with our ambitions of leading the county into the 5-star market.

The Role

The Restaurant Manager will take full responsibility for the running of both of our hotel restaurants. They will need to have experience in running similar sized operations in quality lead establishments. We want our team players to have the best from our industry and the restaurant manager will be an inspiration to the younger members and passionate about teaching and training. Wine knowledge would also be advantageous. The Nare offers a great opportunity to the right candidate to work in a quality establishment with fine wines, food, a unique setting and fantastic guests.
