The vibe

This isn’t a “clipboard in the corner” kind of job. You’ll be on the floor, leading from the front, setting the energy and making sure the guest experience is exactly where it should be. At the same time, you’ll be the person running the business behind the scenes managing labour, owning the P&L, driving sales, and making smart decisions that keep the site performing.We’re looking for someone who loves the buzz of hospitality but also understands what it takes to run a successful restaurant.

Who we are

Wildwood, now part of the Bow Street Group, is all about Italian-inspired food, great cocktails and welcoming spaces where people love to come together. We're on a mission to make Wildwood better than ever, investing in our restaurants, our people and every guest experience.

Our approach is simple: relaxed, full table service delivered with confidence, personality and genuine hospitality. No scripts. No robotic service. Just real people creating memorable experiences, one guest at a time.

With 29 restaurants and big expansion plans for 2026, there’s serious room to grow with us!

What you’ll be owning

• Full P&L responsibility for the restaurant
• Labour control and budgeting, ensuring the business performs week in, week out
• Leading, developing and inspiring a strong management and floor team
• Delivering consistently high guest experience and service standards
• Training and developing people, helping the next generation of leaders grow
• Driving sales, performance and local engagement
• Managing stock, costs, rotas and operational standards
• Working closely with the Area Manager to build and grow the business

You’ll smash this if you are…

• A proven restaurant operator who knows how to run a busy site
• Comfortable owning the numbers - P&L, labour and costs
• A natural leader who builds strong teams and develops people
• From a branded hospitality background (ideal but not essential)
• The kind of person who loves improving, evolving and building something special

Our culture

Our culture is shaped by three core values: Creativity - always looking for better ways to do things; Ownership - taking responsibility and making things happen; and Collaboration - working together to achieve shared success.
If these values resonate with you we'd love to hear from you.
