GENERAL MANAGER – Independent Restaurant SUFFOLK £45,000–£50,000 + TRONC
We are working with a gorgeous independent restaurant with rooms in Suffolk, looking for a brilliant General Manager to take the reins. This is a small but seriously special operation – 2 AA Rosettes, a Michelin Bib Gourmand and a fantastic reputation for food, wine and service.
THE ROLE: This is a proper hands-on GM role. You will be the face of the business, leading a small team, working closely with the Head Chef and making sure the restaurant continues to deliver at a really high level.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Alongside the day-to-day, they want someone commercially switched on who can bring a bit more structure, develop the team and really take ownership of the wider business – including seven bedrooms with loads of untapped potential.
THE CANDIDATE: We need someone from a quality-led restaurant background – fine dining, Michelin, Rosette or brilliant premium independents.
You need to LOVE being on the floor. This is an intimate restaurant where the GM knows the guests, serves tables, talks wine and gets properly stuck in. Wine knowledge is important – ideally WSET Level 2, although they will support further training for the right person.
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
Warm, polished, commercially savvy and full of personality.
A brilliant little business with lovely owners, real autonomy and plenty of opportunity to put your stamp on it.
Driver essential. Relocation/accommodation support potentially available.
