As an Area Manager with Vintage Inns, you will oversee a district of thirteen charming country pubs along the picturesque South Coast, including charming locations in Barnstable, Poole, Taunton, Hampshire, Christchurch, Bournemouth, Torquay, Eastleigh, Plymouth, Wimbourne and Exeter.

You will be leading and inspiring  teams at our fantastic pubs- like the historic Drum Inn in Torquay, designed by the renowned architect Sir Edwin Lutyens in 1936, or at the serene Fishers Pond in Eastleigh, where stunning views over the tranquil pond captivate our guests. These are just two of the thirteen beautiful pubs in our highly sought-after collection, nestled in one of the UK's most beautiful regions. 

Drawing on your passion, experience, and leadership, you will inspire your management teams to excel, deliver exceptional guest experiences, and achieve ambitious targets. And when all the hard work pays off, you'll be able to celebrate together, enjoying the moment and having fun as a team!
