Deputy General Manager

Deputy General Manager – Premium Dining Pub (Forrest Road)

About Forrest Road

Forrest Road is one of Signature Group’s most exciting new openings, bringing together two distinct hospitality experiences under one roof.

At the front of the venue, a premium dining pub will sit at the heart of the offer, centred around a charcoal oven and focused on delivering elevated, fresh, food‐led experiences at a consistently high standard. This space will balance quality, pace and presentation, creating a warm and refined environment for guests.

Alongside this, a high‑energy sports bar will operate at the back of the venue, driving high‑volume trade and a bold, crowd‑pleasing offer, making Forrest Road a truly dynamic, multi‑concept site.

About the Role

As Deputy General Manager, you’ll lead the front‑of‑house operation of the premium dining pub, working closely with the General Manager to deliver exceptional, food‑led service.

You’ll take ownership of standards, team performance and guest experience, ensuring every detail, from product knowledge to service flow, is delivered consistently and to a high level.

This is an ideal role for someone from a strong restaurant or gastro pub background who is passionate about quality and guest experience.
