WE’RE HIRING: GENERAL MANAGER

ON THE ROCKS 

Yarmouth, Isle of Wight | Full Time |

This is not a sit-back-and-observe role.

This is a hands-on leadership, high standards, big energy, and big rewards role.

On The Rocks is one of Yarmouth’s most iconic and loved restaurants — famous for our hot stone dining, bold flavours, and unforgettable guest experience. Our customers know us, love us, and expect excellence every single time. We’re been open for over 10 years and we are looking for someone to help us continue our journey!  

Now we’re looking for a strong, confident, people-first General Manager to lead from the front and take us into our next chapter.

WHAT YOU’RE STEPPING INTO:

• A fast-paced, high-energy restaurant environment

• A loyal, vocal customer base with high expectations

• A well-established, independent restaurant with personality and soul

• A close-knit team that thrives with strong leadership

• A business where standards matter and every service counts

WHO THIS ROLE IS FOR:

You’re probably already running (or ready to run) a busy restaurant, bar or hospitality venue and you:

• Thrive under pressure

• Lead by example — always

• Care deeply about food, service and atmosphere

• Hold yourself and your team to high standards

• Have an incredible eye for detail

• Love being on the floor, not stuck behind a desk

• Want ownership, influence and the chance to truly make your mark

YOUR ROLE WILL INCLUDE:

• Leading, motivating and developing the team

• Owning day-to-day restaurant operations

• Delivering exceptional guest experiences

• Managing rotas, staffing and performance

• Maintaining high standards across service, hygiene & safety

• Driving sales, standards and team culture

• Being the face and heartbeat of the restaurant

WHAT WE OFFER:

• Excellent remuneration package based on experience

• On-the-job training and ongoing support

• Real autonomy and trust to run the business

• A supportive, passionate ownership team

• A role where your leadership genuinely matters

This role is challenging, fast-paced, and deeply rewarding.

But if you’re the right person, it’s also one of the most exciting hospitality leadership opportunities on the Isle of Wight right now. 

Think you’ve got what it takes to lead On The Rocks?

We want to hear from you.
