Job description

Battersea, Wandsworth, Greater London, United Kingdom, SW11 1HW

Stonegate Group is the UK’s largest operator of pubs, bars, and late-night venues, including Slug & Lettuce, Be At One, and Popworld, to name a few. We’re proud of our diverse portfolio and deeply committed to creating an inclusive culture that embraces individuality in all its forms—including neurodiversity. By fostering an environment where everyone feels welcome, valued, and supported, we reflect the vibrant communities we serve and empower our people to thrive.

A little bit about the opportunity…

Welcome to where it all began—the original Be At One, proudly serving up cocktails and good times for over 25 years. This is the birthplace of our brand, a true institution that set the standard for what Be At One is all about.

Located in a buzzing neighbourhood spot, this one-floor venue serves up an extensive cocktail menu that keeps the energy high and the drinks flowing. It’s a go-to destination for post-work drinks after 5pm and a weekend hotspot that stays packed with partygoers.

This bar has the soul of a local, with a loyal guest base and a strong community feel. Growing that crowd even further is key—so we’re looking for someone who can tap into the local scene, elevate the guest experience, and help write the next chapter of this iconic venue’s story.

A little bit about you...

We’re searching for a savvy and driven General Manager with a strong pulse on South West London. You’ll understand the local crowd and know exactly how to turn first‑time guests into loyal regulars.

You combine commercial smarts with creative flair—comfortable digging into the numbers to drive performance, while also bringing fresh ideas to keep the venue buzzing. If you know how to balance strong financial acumen with on‑the‑ground charisma, you could be the perfect fit to lead one of our most iconic bars.

Please Note:

To be eligible to apply, you MUST hold a valid Personal Licence.
