Manager
We are looking for an experienced manager at the Hare; a warm and charismatic host who can take up the reins and make this characterful pub their own.
As the manager you will have overall responsibility for developing your own menus, choosing your beers and wines, negotiating prices with suppliers and making the business profitable.
Aside from the knowledge and experience to run a successful business at senior level with an eye for detail, you'll need to be a real foodie with in-depth experience in a fresh food pub restaurant environment. Our regularly changing menus have a spine of freshly prepared, classic British dishes, complemented by more exotic influences from other parts of the world - in other words, modern British cookery.
It sounds like a tall order doesn't it, but we will empower you to be the boss of your own pub restaurant and really make it your own whilst receiving lots of support and advice from the central team, as and when it's needed.
It goes without saying that you'll also need a passion and sound knowledge of cask ales and wines of the world, and be entrepreneurial at heart with proven financial expertise and business acumen. Most importantly of course, you'll need to be a natural host, enjoy looking after others and be able to lead a happy crew.
The Hare sits in the village of Langton Green, a pleasing, well-to-do suburb of Tunbridge Wells on the edge of the rolling, narrow-laned Kent countryside. Here you'll find the traditional English villages featured in those pre-war black and white films made at Pinewood, and the classic English pubs that we dream of, but which often fail to deliver.
All of our pubs are featured in the Good Pub Guide and for us it's all about serving fresh, simple, high quality traditional dishes extremely well. Our menu has a spine of freshly prepared, classic British dishes, complemented by more exotic influences from other parts of the world: in other words, modern British cookery. Our passion lies in finding quality ingredients and preparing, cooking and presenting them in a modern but unpretentious way.
As a Manager we'll reward you with a starting salary package starting from GBP35,000 - GBP40,000 per annum with quality accommodation and you'll be part of a successful, growing company who have been awarded Pub Group of the Year on many occasions.
If this sounds like your cup of tea, please send your CV with a covering letter telling us about you and what makes you tick to .
