General Manager

🚀 What's the opportunity?

• Identify opportunities to grow the business and maximise the site's full potential.
• Lead, coach and develop a large team, creating a culture where people can thrive.
• Work with your Business Development Manager to build and deliver an ambitious business plan.
• Make the most of the pub's fantastic riverside location and position in the heart of Salisbury.
• Continue developing the food, drink, sport and entertainment offer.
• Maintain the high standards expected of a flagship Greene King site.
• Challenge yourself and the team to continually improve what we do.

🍻 Ready to lead a flagship pub in the heart of Salisbury?

If you're an experienced General Manager who knows how to run a big, busy and commercially successful pub, this could be the opportunity you've been waiting for.

Right in the centre of Salisbury and sitting alongside the River Avon, the Bishops Mill is a landmark pub with a great location, strong reputation and plenty of reasons for customers to visit.

This is a large, profit-making site – and we're looking for someone who can take it from successful to exceptional.
 

📍 Why the Bishops Mill?

Location. Scale. Opportunity.

The Bishops Mill sits right in the heart of Salisbury, alongside the River Avon and just a short walk from the beautiful Queen Elizabeth Gardens.

It's a pub that's been through a significant transformation, having been completely rebuilt around eight years ago, and has established itself as a key part of the Salisbury hospitality scene.

With a picturesque beer garden, live sport, arcade and bar games, pool, great food and a family-friendly atmosphere, there's plenty going on.

But this role isn't about simply maintaining what's already there.

It's about asking what more the Bishops Mill can achieve.

For the right General Manager, this is a chance to take the reins of a flagship, profitable site and really put your stamp on its next chapter.
