General Manager - Award Winning Pub, Bar and Restaurant Group - Quality - London

Welcome to London's biggest independent pub company.

Urban Pubs & Bars was founded in 2014 by Nick Pring and Malcolm Heap and has since expanded to an estate of over 67 pubs, bars and restaurants across London.

Our ethos focuses on acquiring the best sites in the right locations and recruiting exceptional talent who are as passionate about food and drink as we are. Establishing the right offer and investing in the right areas is key, whilst devoting time and attention to the team that operates those sites is a major part of that investment.

In 2018, Urban Pubs & Bars was ranked number 28 in the Sunday Times Virgin Atlantic Fast Track 100 list, recognising Britain's private companies with the fastest-growing sales. We were then nominated for 2 Publican Awards in 2020, winning the award for 'Best Managed Pub Company - 2-50 sites' on the night. In 2021, Urban was awarded 'Best Food-led Pub Company 2021' at the R200 awards, Urban once again won 'Best Managed Pub Company - 2-50 sites' in 2023 and most recently won 'Best Managed Pub Company - 2-50 sites' and Best food offering in 2026

In 2025 & 2026 we were recognised by Sunday Times in the Top 100 Companies to work for.

Our teams play a pivotal role in creating an eclectic mix of unique establishments all with a friendly atmosphere, delicious food and great service all at the heart of what we value. Ensuring each site's valued position within its local community.

Urban Pubs, Bars and Restaurants are currently recruiting for a talented and highly skilled General Manager with personality & charisma for our expanding group. With an eclectic mix of properties and new openings to suit your personality and style, this really is an exciting time to join a people focused and progressive operations led business.

Situated opposite Brockwell Park and a short walk from Herne Hill station, The Prince Regent is a stunning Victorian pub with an ornate exterior and a statue of its namesake. Inside, traditional wood panelling creates a cosy charm, while ample outdoor seating is perfect for sunny days. Offering a seasonal menu, local brews, fine wines, expertly crafted cocktails, and a Sunday roast worth the wait.

A true neighbourhood gem in South London.
