General Manager for The Bull in Wanstead

The Bull in Wanstead is about to get even more exciting.

The Bull is a much-loved neighbourhood pub in Wanstead, but we’re not standing still.

We’re making significant investment in the site and growing what The Bull can be – with exciting plans across weddings, events, private hire and rooms , alongside the pub itself.

So, we’re looking for an experienced GM with the ambition and energy to match ours . Someone who wants to take a great business, evolve it, lead a brilliant team and shape what comes next.

Why The Bull?

It’s a pretty special site. A listed former bank, right on Wanstead High Street and just 100 yards from the Tube, with a huge garden, private events room and loads of character.

It’s already a big part of the local community. Now we’re investing in it and creating more reasons for people to come, celebrate and stay .

That means this is much more than simply running a busy pub. We’re looking for someone excited by growth, opportunity and building something .
