The Beckford Canteen is an independent restaurant, listed in the Michelin Guide and consistently well-reviewed for its high-quality, carefully prepared food and drinks. Our team are warm, skilled, and dedicated, bringing pure hospitality to every guest and creating a welcoming, attentive experience. As part of the Beckford Group, we combine the independence and personality of a “local” favourite with the support of a growing hospitality family.

As General Manager at the Beckford Canteen, you’ll have a unique opportunity to be at the heart of an independent restaurant while benefiting from the support and resources of a growing hospitality group. You will oversee day-to-day operations, maintain excellent standards of service, and have the freedom to contribute your ideas, and develop your own management style. This role allows you to make a real impact on the restaurant, work closely with the owners, and be part of a passionate, talented team dedicated to creating memorable experiences for every guest. You will have some really good experience in a quality hospitality company, in an assistant manager/management role.

Staff enjoy 50% off food and rooms at our other sites, 50% off Bramley products, 10% off retail wine, and 20% off Longleat tickets, as well as a Hospitality Rewards membership.
