Why The Square Pig?
The Square Pig offers the best of both worlds: the energy and footfall of Central London alongside a pub that has built a strong reputation with both local guests and visitors.
If you're looking for a role where you can put your stamp on an established business, work with a great team, and be part of a pub that's already a destination in its own right, we'd love to hear from you.
Company Description
Run one of Central London's best-loved pubs.
The Square Pig is a busy, vibrant pub in the heart of Holborn, combining great food, quality drinks, and a loyal customer base with a prime Central London location. We're looking for an experienced General Manager who can build on that success and take the business to the next level.
This isn't a role for someone who wants to sit in the office. We're looking for a hands-on leader who thrives in a fast-paced environment, enjoys developing high-performing teams, and knows how to create an atmosphere that keeps guests coming back.
You'll have full ownership of the day-to-day operation, with the opportunity to drive sales, grow your team, and make a genuine impact on the future of the business.
