Job Details

Restaurant General Manager - Guinness Open Gate Brewery, London

Salary: £40,000 - £45,000 per annum

Working pattern: 40 hours per week, 5 over 7

Opening December 2025 - hiring now!

Step into a landmark role at the heart of London’s newest hospitality destination.

The Porters Table:

The Porters Table is all about BIG, BOLD Flavors..... and a nod to Guinness' brewing past. It is named for the porters who made it!

This is where history meets hospitality.

Back in the day, Covent Garden’s porters (the hard-

working lot carrying goods through the market) couldn’t

get enough of it. So, here’s to them - this bold, grill-

inspired space brings together big flavors and seriously

good food, with Guinness as the perfect pairing.

And yes, it’s called The Porter’s Table because every

great meal starts with a seat at the table.

  • Leading a dedicated team of up to 50 staff to deliver exceptional service standards.
