Assistant Manager - Live In

As Assistant Manager, you’ll be at the heart of our management team helping to ensure the smooth running of a busy pub. From the moment you step through the door, you lead by example making sure our Customers, and teams, have a great time. 

Join us at Chef & Brewer, a collection of unique country-style pubs set in beautiful locations across the country which are welcome escapes for our customers, that feel like a home away from home. Our relaxed pubs with beautifully decorated interiors, seriously good pub food and expertly chosen drinks ranges are the perfect places for our customers to enjoy any occasion. 

About the Role

In the heart of the Surrey village of Shere, nestling amongst lovely half-timbered buildings, close to the tiny bubbling River Tillingbourne; is this former 13th century farmhouse, 17th century Alehouse and Inn, now Grade II Listed Building 'The White Horse'.

It's hard to imagine an English country pub more idyllic. Set against the backdrop of the North Downs, low-beam timbers from Nelson's HMS Victory, secret smugglers cellars, an inglenook fireplace, all make up this Pub full of heritage. Inside are two dining rooms that can be hired out for private functions and plenty of nooks and crannies set the scene for romantic dining whilst outside, a shaded courtyard ensures the perfect setting for eating al fresco. One of Hollywood's most romantic films ‘The Holiday,' starring Cameron Diaz and Jude Law, was shot here. In fact, the charms of Shere have lured the creators of ‘Four Weddings and a Funeral,' ‘Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason,' and ‘The Wedding Date', and ‘Molly Moon' too.

Our team is friendly, authentic, passionate and caring, delivering high quality standards and service allowing our guests to relax and enjoy their time spent with us. We ensure our pub is warm, clean and tidy with the perfect atmosphere and apply little touches that show we care individually. Nothing is ever too much trouble, we always go the extra mile to make our guests’ visit that little bit more special. We nurture knowledge and support growth and balance in a most personable team environment.
