This is a fantastic role for an established Restaurant Manager with an already proven track record as the pedigree of the restaurant deserves nothing less.

Rated with 2 stars in the Michelin guide for 20 consecutive years, Restaurant Andrew Fairlie has established itself as a leader in Scottish Hospitality. Confirmed in The Caterer Top 30 'Best Places To Work In Hospitality 2021' and voted Number 1 in the Hardens Top 100 UK Restaurants 2023, you can be assured we care about what we do and who we do it with. The restaurant was the first Krug Ambassade in Scotland and this allows a fabulous insight into one of the world’s greatest Champagnes. Working with only the finest produce (much of it showcasing Scotland's Larder) and sensational wines and spirits, we are blessed with a loyal and regular clientele who rightly expect exceptional and personal service. We have built a reputation for a characterful, personality led, and professional service style.

We open for dinner only and work a straight shift over a five day working week (four days 3pm start, one day 5.45pm start). We offer an attractive salary, and an equitable share of gratuities (and a meal on duty). We are less than one hour away from cosmopolitan Edinburgh and vibrant Glasgow and some of the most breath-taking countryside in Britain is on our doorstep.
