CRITICAL OPPORTUNITY: Food & Beverage Supervisor
Jobs at Dumbleton Hall Hotel: Return to Life Lived Grand
We are seeking a passionate, characterful individual to join our team as a Food & Beverage Supervisor.
We do much more than run a hotel. We steward Dumbleton Hall—a glorious English manor where every guest is welcomed as an honoured family member. Fireside evenings, intimate dining, and timeless traditions all unfold here, keeping a little piece of the Golden Age alive.
As a Food & Beverage Supervisor, you’ll help us create an unforgettable experience—where lifelike Downton Abbey grandeur meets warm, personal hospitality.
Who We Are: Dumbleton Hall: A Manor Reborn
Nested in the heart of the Cotswolds, our storytelling manor weaves together heritage, culture, and evolving traditions. Our prayer book is one that stretches from the literary salons of Charlotte Brontë, Dickens (Household Words), and Charles Darwin to the Mitford sisters’ divas and John Betjeman’s Poet Laureate legacy.
Today, we’re the guardians of this grand narrative—curating moments in garden-side romance, fireside guestrooms, and meticulously plated dining. Our guests are invited to be part of the Dumbleton story, not just to stay.
What Makes Us Unique
Dumbleton Hall offers nothing ordinary. Our ** Unique Selling Proposition** is built on five pillars:
- Manor Life — Invitational welcome rituals, garden-to-table secrets and fire-lit evening penchants.
- Culture & Story — Each room, meal, and touchpoint is steeped in history; we bringing literary scraps to life every day.
- Countryside & Walking — Our estate descends from Gaskell’s North and South heroines and sits at the start of Winchcombe Way’s notable footpaths.
- Grand Turist Polish — Service refined to invite cultural appraisal even for first-time visitors.
- Romance — It’s here that wedding dreams and honeymoons unfold among gardens lit by moonlight.

What it’s Like Working at Dumbleton Hall
Our team is the living bridge between our ancestral legacy and guests’ dreams. We share a commitment to making each visit a moment guests will return to year after year.
Our work ethos is based on the Honoured Guest Manifesto:
- You greet each guest by name.
- You anticipate their needs discreetly—like the butler in your favourite period drama, but real-life.
- Our guests expect service that feels personal, layered, and effortlessly elegant—whether by the fireside or at their individual dining tables.
- Every interaction shapes stories—from the merriment of a toast inside to the serenity of a country-stewed evening.
No back-of-house role is too small to shape our reputation.
Our Cultural Imperative
Dumbleton Hall operates at the nexus of Cotswolds cultural life, hosting a range of extraordinary events:
- Theatrics — Royal Shakespeare Company and celebrated productions.
- Excitement of the Cheltenham Festival, with the Gold Cup beneath our window.
- History with a capital H: country walking, floral festivals, and literary events.
Your role contributes to these grand stage experiences, transforming the regional calendar into memories that last a lifetime.
The Food & Beverage Supervisor: A Vital Pillar in the Storytelling

- Polished Proponents — Detail-oriented, emanating pride in your work.
- Crafters of Craft — Serafically ambitious to develop in service, dining, and grand patterns of experience.

Why You’ll Thrive Here
Consider this your legacy calling:
- Become part of the Cotswolds idea—transforming a minor-time stately heritage into one of the most recognised below, a landmark that time forgot little but still twinkles boldly.

- Chronicle guest stories and reward team collaborations that cement unforgettable moments.
- Close to national parks, in a postcard-settled idyll, your work pays off in a tangible barometer of effort and joy.
- Join a family working in a garden-leaf, lakeside fifty-shades-of-©Garden History setting.
