About the pub

The Farmhouse at Mackworth is a stunning, multi faceted business oozing with charm & character. Situated in what was once an 18th century farmhouse and located just a stone's throw from the Peak District, The Farmhouse boasts a large bar & restaurant, 10 boutique hotel bedrooms, multiple upstairs function spaces & of course the hugely popular self contained wedding & events space with capacity for 200 guests (complete with full wedding licence!)

Currently trading at an average of £47,000 per week in net sales, The Farmhouse recently benefited from a face lift which saw internal and external upgrades to the pub as well as a full refurbishment of the hotel bedrooms. The Farmhouse offers an incredibly rare opportunity for a seasoned General Manager with a sustained track record of success in a multi faceted business to take the helm of our flagship Signature business and continue its success. This is the perfect opportunity for a passionate leader with a natural flare for inspiring and nurturing their teams to unlock their potential. Management accommodation is available in the form of a three bedroom flat above the coaching house with separate entrance & views over the countryside.

Have you got what it takes?

It's true, being a Pub Manager is demanding but the people make it much more than just a job. Brimming with energy and ideas, you'll add touches of your personality to your pub and think of new ways to delight and excite your customers. You'll thrive off growing your business and have a 'lead from the front' mentality and passion for nurturing your team.

As a General Manager you'll:

• Care about finding, growing and engaging your team.
• Be accountable for running all aspects of your pub.
• Be passionate about doing the right thing for your staff and your customers.
• Dream big and think differently about new ways to increase sales and growth.
• Celebrate and create a buzz by sharing enjoyable experiences.
