Castle: ‘Metropolitan High Roller’
Distinctively premium and authentic at every turn, Castle pubs are an original collection of businesses that sit within the Mitchells & Butlers City Division. This predominantly ‘Metropolitan High Roller’ District is one of a kind – a truly once in a career opportunity.
This District delivers an elevated level of Castle hospitality in 13 iconic pubs, in some of the most affluent suburbs of London. It includes The Spaniards nestled on Hampsted Heath, The Engineer in Primrose Hill with its luxurious north London vibes and The Lamb in affluent, fashionable Chiswick to name a handful. This role embodies the very best of the London premium pub scene.
Our bespoke menus are based on fresh, seasonal ingredients to cater for our discerning guests. This partners with the best locally distilled artisan spirits to delicious untapped wines, top and tailed with an industry leading rotating craft beer range. We're very picky about what makes it into our pubs – it matters to our guests, so it matters to us. We like to be different, polished, and ahead of the game.
Working for Castle pubs, you truly get the best of both worlds as an Area Manager. We operate with entrepreneurial freedom & an independent pub feel, whilst benefitting from the amazing central support & fantastic career development opportunities that Mitchells & Butlers provide.
From Brighton to Newcastle via London, Castle’s General Managers and teams makes us what we are – and because no two pub teams are the same, neither are the pubs! Come and be part of something original.
