Our Group

At Ardent Pub Group, everything starts with people. Whether you’re walking into one of our pubs or joining our team, you’ll be met with genuine warmth. We build pubs that are rooted in their communities, driven by purpose and built to last.

We operate three acclaimed pubs - The George (Fitzrovia), The Cadogan Arms (Chelsea), and The Hound (Chiswick) - each rooted in tradition but full of fresh energy. Named Food‑Led Pub Group of the Year at the 2024 R200 Awards, with The Cadogan Arms and The George both featured in the Top 100 Gastropubs list, we’ve also won the 2026 Best Premium Food Offer at The Publican Awards - cementing our reputation for leading the way in exceptional pub dining.

As hospitality’s highest‑scoring B‑Corp certified company, we’re committed to doing business the right way - balancing exceptional guest experiences with meaningful social and environmental impact. Our culture is just as important as our performance, which is why we’re proud to be recognised in CODE Hospitality’s Happiest Places to Work 2025 and Sunday Times Best Places to Work 2026.

Our mission is to deliver the gold standard of public houses - where quality food, drink, and service create exceptional experiences. If that resonates, we’d love to hear from you.

The Position

We’re looking for a hands‑on, enthusiastic General Manager to join our award‑winning pub group. You’ll lead by example, inspiring your team to deliver warm, memorable guest experiences while running a high‑performing, quality pub.

The ideal candidate will have:

  • Previous experience as a General Manager in a busy, premium pub or restaurant
  • A warm, welcoming personality with a hands‑on approach and excellent attention to detail
  • Ability to lead, train, and progress a team
  • Experience or a keen interest in managing the financial levers of a growing business
  • Proven track record of setting a positive culture throughout the team
  • A passion for hospitality and strong knowledge of food and beverage
  • An eye for detail - proactive approach to improvement of every facet of the business
  • Ambition to grow and develop within an award‑winning pub group

A typical working week may look like 4 or 5 working days, including 3 single shifts and 2 double shifts. As with most roles in hospitality, shift patterns may vary depending on business needs.

If you’re a proactive leader who thrives in a fast‑paced pub environment, we’d love to hear from you.

Our commitment to Equity, Diversity and Inclusion

At Ardent Pub Group, the greatest welcome isn’t just something we give to our guests — it’s something we extend to everyone who walks through our doors. Our pubs are built on warmth, character and community, and that only works when the people who make them thrive feel respected, valued and able to be themselves.

We believe that a diverse team makes for a better pub: richer ideas, better problem-solving, more creativity and a stronger connection to the communities we serve. Inclusion isn’t an initiative for us — it’s part of how we operate every day.
