General Manager - Live-in - January Start

We’re on the hunt for an ambitious, people-focused General Manager to lead one of North London’s most iconic pubs – the legendary Bull & Gate in the heart of Kentish Town!

Situated right next door to the O2 Forum Kentish Town and steeped in history, Bull & Gate is famous for its place in London’s indie music scene, having welcomed some of the biggest names in music, including Coldplay, Blur, Oasis and the Manic Street Preachers, long before they hit the big time. Today, it continues to be a much-loved local, bringing together great food, quality drinks, live music heritage and an unmistakable pub atmosphere.

As General Manager, you will be in charge of this characterful Victorian pub, which offers a fantastic mix of spaces, from cosy sofas and relaxed drinking areas to a dedicated dining room as well as the stylish private hire Boulogne Bar, which can host everything from birthdays and celebrations to corporate gatherings and parties.

The ideal candidate will be a hands-on, commercially minded General Manager with a real passion for iconic pubs, great music, brilliant people, and creating an atmosphere that guests want to come back for. This is a fantastic opportunity to take ownership of a truly special London pub, build on Bull & Gate’s celebrated reputation and put your own stamp on an iconic Kentish Town institution.
