## Description

### **Food & Beverage Manager**

**Copthorne Tara Hotel London Kensington**

Copthorne Tara Hotel Kensington is seeking a high-impact, experienced Food & Beverage Manager to lead and transform our entire F&B operation.

This is not a “steady-state” role — it’s a rare opportunity to rebuild, shape, and elevate a multi-outlet and Meetings & Events operation, creating a culture of performance, accountability, and service excellence.

You will take full ownership of restaurants, bars, in-room dining, executive lounge, and Meetings & Events, driving both operational standards and commercial performance across the department.  
  
We are looking for a hands-on leader who thrives in pace, complexity, and change — someone who can:

-   Reset standards and build a high-performing team
-   Drive revenue across outlets and M&E
-   Create a culture of accountability, energy, and guest obsession
-   Leave a lasting operational and commercial legacy

-   Ensure consistent service excellence across all guest touchpoints
-   Work closely with Sales, Revenue, and Kitchen teams to deliver seamless operations
-   Implement and maintain robust SOPs, training frameworks, and service standards
-   Take a visible, hands-on approach to leadership across all outlets
-   Monitor performance through audits, guest feedback, and financial KPIs

**What We’re Looking For**

-   Proven experience as an F&B Manager or Senior F&B Leader in a hotel or high-volume hospitality environment
-   Strong background across both outlets and Meetings & Events operations
-   Commercially driven, with a clear track record of improving performance
-   Confident leading large, diverse teams and driving accountability
-   Highly organised, with the ability to manage multiple revenue streams simultaneously
-   Strong presence on the floor — visible, hands-on, and guest-focused
-   Passion for training, coaching, and building future leaders
-   Resilient, adaptable, and comfortable leading change

## Benefits

### **What We Offer**

-   Career-defining opportunity to build and shape a department
-   Clear progression within an international hotel group
