Join our Team at The Lion!

Current Opportunities

As a thriving community-owned free house supported by over 400 shareholders, The Lion is now looking for experienced hospitality professionals to lead the pub forward.

Our goal is simple: to create a vibrant village pub the community can be proud of.

  • Pub Manager – to oversee day-to-day operations and build strong relationships with our customers and the wider community.

  • Chef Manager – to lead the kitchen and deliver a simple, high-quality pub menu that reflects the character of a great village local.

What we offer:

  • A rare opportunity to play a central role in a much-loved village pub
  • The chance to be part of a supportive, community-focused team
  • Potential for accommodation above the pub

If you’re passionate about great pub food, creating a warm welcome, and building strong community connections, we’d love to hear from you!

We welcome applications from individuals for one role, or as a couple interested in both roles together.
