The Boat House is a waterside venue in Chichester Marina, popular for its stunning views and vibrant menu. We have extensive outside seating, a café, and Lobster Hatch, as well as a restaurant for a more extensive food offering.
At the heart of our local Berth Holders and regular visitors to the Marina, we are lucky to be an extremely popular venue throughout the day, known for our friendly and informal service, which our customers, including their furry friends, can enjoy with their fresh and homemade food.
What makes the Boat House special is our collaborative, positive, and supportive teams, who make it their mission to know our customers personally while making lifelong friends with their colleagues.
To take us forward with our ambitions and truly earn our place in the hearts of the Community, we are looking for a Bars Manager to join our team.
The Bars Manager will be part of the Management Team and will have overall responsibility for the bar (hot and cold drinks), cellar, and lobster hatch bar operation. You will be responsible for bar staff, stock control, and bar service standards.
