Food and Beverage Manager

We have now opened our first Everly hotel, the flagship of our new brand. What a start its been and we are already receiving rave reviews! We are creating our new distinct hotel brand that does things differently: inviting our guests to explore the surrounding neighbourhood, discovering the stories of its people, savouring its food and flavours and taking in every delightful detail.

We have a fantastic opportunity for an experienced Food and Beverage Manager to join us and be a key part of the decision making in our stunning seafront location, only a stone’s throw from Brighton. 

Backed by one of the UK’s leading hospitality companies, we blend centuries of industry know-how with thoughtful gestures, stylish details and a fresh approach to dining, creating the perfect place to recharge, relax and connect. Our multi-year development plan will see us transform a portfolio of properties into unique, design-led hotels across the country, providing a luxurious setting for guests and locals alike.

As Food and Beverage Manager, you’re not just orchestrating daily operations, you’re crafting an exceptional dining experience. Responsible for upholding the highest standards in our food and beverage, you’ll be the culinary conductor, collaborating with your team to delight your guests.

We’re called Venture Hotels for a reason: We’re pioneers! And we thrive on originality.

As Greene King’s ventures arm, we’re here to push boundaries. And we’re driven by a team that sees every day as an opportunity to go beyond the ordinary.

The result: hotels with a unique sense of place that locals can feel proud of.

So, if you love where you live, join us and inspire other people to love it, too.
