Part\-Time Restaurant Manager – Pecks Restaurant

Congleton, Cheshire

Up to £14\.00 per hour \+ TRONC worth up to £2,250 per year
Up to 30 hours per week \| Flexible part\-time hours

Take ownership of one of Cheshire's most distinctive restaurants

We're looking for an experienced Part\-Time Restaurant Manager to take ownership of the front\-of\-house operation at Pecks Restaurant in Congleton.

Pecks is an AA Rosette fine dining restaurant and part of the Pear Hospitality Group, a family\-operated collection of restaurants, bars and hospitality venues across Cheshire and the North West.

This isn't a conventional restaurant management role.

Pecks has built its reputation around creating memorable dining experiences. Our operation includes Lunch, High Tea, our famous Dinner at Eight experience and Sunday Lunch, meaning the style of service changes throughout the week.

Our signature Dinner at Eight is at the heart of Pecks. It's a theatrical fine dining experience where dishes are presented to guests and our front\-of\-house team explain the ingredients, cooking techniques and flavours behind them. Menus change regularly to showcase seasonal produce and the creativity of our kitchen team.

We're looking for someone who understands what great hospitality looks like and can take genuine ownership of delivering it.

The Role

As Restaurant Manager, you'll be the person setting the standard on the restaurant floor.

You'll lead services, coach the front\-of\-house team and make sure every guest receives the level of hospitality expected from Pecks.

You'll be responsible for:

• Taking ownership of the day\-to\-day front\-of\-house operation


• Leading Lunch, High Tea, Dinner at Eight and Sunday services


• Maintaining exceptional fine dining and service standards


• Coaching, training and developing the front\-of\-house team


• Leading pre\-service briefings and preparing the team for service


• Developing the team's food, wine and menu knowledge


• Ensuring dishes are presented and explained confidently to guests


• Creating a warm, polished and memorable guest experience


• Handling guest feedback and resolving issues professionally


• Working closely with the kitchen and wider management team


• Maintaining excellent restaurant presentation and attention to detail


• Leading from the front during busy services

Most importantly, we're looking for someone who will treat Pecks as their restaurant — taking pride in its standards, its team and the experience we give every guest.

Who We're Looking For

Previous experience in a fine dining or high\-quality restaurant environment is essential.

You'll need to be comfortable leading a restaurant service while also being hands\-on with guests and the team.

You'll ideally have:

• Previous restaurant management or supervisory experience


• Experience within a fine dining environment


• Excellent attention to detail


• Strong food and wine knowledge


• Confidence leading and developing a team


• A genuine passion for hospitality


• The ability to coach younger or less experienced team members


• A calm, professional approach during busy services


• High personal standards and a desire to continually improve the operation

Hours

Pecks operates Wednesday to Sunday, so you'll need to be available for a mixture of evenings and weekends.

However, we're deliberately keeping the role flexible.

We're happy to discuss both the number of hours you want to work and how those hours are structured, with up to 30 hours per week available.

This could be an excellent opportunity for an experienced Restaurant Manager or Assistant Restaurant Manager who loves hospitality and wants genuine responsibility, but doesn't necessarily want the hours that traditionally come with a full\-time restaurant management position.

What We Offer

• Up to £14\.00 per hour


• TRONC worth up to £2,250 per year


• Up to 30 hours per week


• Flexible working patterns


• A genuine opportunity to take ownership of an established fine dining restaurant


• The opportunity to develop and coach your own front\-of\-house team


• Support from the wider Pear Hospitality Group


• The chance to work within a restaurant with a genuinely distinctive style of service

It's a restaurant with history, personality and exceptionally loyal guests — and we're looking for someone who wants to take ownership of the next chapter.

If you're an experienced fine dining professional looking for a senior role with genuine responsibility and flexible part\-time hours, we'd love to hear from you.
