About the opportunity

Once you’ve been greeted by friendly staff and taken a moment to soak in the spectacular views, your attention will naturally be drawn to the contemporary restaurant and the cellar door — the main attractions of the property.

Locally sourced food and produce are at the heart of our client’s menus. Ingredients from their orchard and permaculture garden are complemented by products from local producers.

The Venue Manager will be immersed in service every working day, leading with a casual, friendly, and effective approach that reflects the venue’s style.
In addition to front-of-house management duties, you will oversee cost control for both the restaurant and the cellar door, lead recruitment processes, and be responsible for creating training and development plans.

Expect to lead a ready-made team of 15 in a venue that serves between 50 and 150 guests per service.
