Company Description
Forget your average pub. Think sun-trap beer garden, craft brews bubbling, and soul food so good it'll make you weep. Picture live bands rocking the rafters, then unleashing your inner rockstar with some legendary Rockaoke. This is The Black Lion, West Hampstead, and it's anything but ordinary.
We're looking for a General Manager: the captain of this vibrant ship, the maestro of good times. Not just a manager, but a visionary, a whirlwind of ideas, a champion of eccentricity. Someone who doesn't just follow trends, but sets them ablaze.
You'll be crafting an experience worthy of West Hampstead's coolest corner. From mind-blowing menus to unforgettable events, you'll have the freedom to make your mark. This ain't no beige-walls-and-boring-beer joint. We're talking themed nights that'll have the gram exploding, cocktail concoctions that'll knock your socks off, and a buzz that'll keep the locals coming back for more.
Join us at Metro Pubs, where our pubs are at the heart of city life, striving to provide a home away from home for both locals and visitors to the capital alike. All of our pubs are individual and unbranded, each embodying its own personality and character. We’re the place to laugh with friends, to spend quality time with family, and to enjoy all that is great about a community pub – the food, the drink, the service and the atmosphere.
