General Manager

We have an amazing opportunity for a driven, high performing General Manager to run one of Castle's iconic pubs

The Phoenix, Cavendish Square, W1G 0PP
SALARY: Up to £42,000 plus bonus

The Phoenix is no ordinary Castle business. It is truly one of the most unique, multi-faceted businesses anywhere within the Mitchells and Butlers estate. Set opposite Cavendish Square, just off Oxford St and Regent St, the Phoenix is in a prime location. It's a bustling city boozer on the ground floor, with strong wet trade, a loyal lunch crowd from neighbouring offices, and a lively post-work atmosphere. This floor alone is enough pub for any ordinary General Manager. But it is the lower ground floor is where the Phoenix’s individuality truly comes to bear. A 200-capacity event space and nightclub. The Basement at the Phoenix has decades of history as a comedy and club venue, playing host to the likes of Frankie Boyle and with much-loved club nights like 'How Does It Feel to Be Loved' a regular feature. 

Licenced until 3am and with up to a dozen events per week, ranging from musical bingo to live-streamed model-making. The Phoenix is an opportunity for an experienced pub manager to really spread their wings and run a multi-floor, multi-faceted, always-on pub and events space in the very heart of Zone 1. The nature of the business makes it an ideal grounding for General Managers looking to demonstrate their multi-site credentials and progress their career.
