The posting

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

Requirements

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead the full Food & Beverage operation, including outlets and Meetings & Events
  • Oversee the execution of conferences, banqueting, and private events to the highest standard
  • Drive profitability, cost control, and revenue growth across all F&B streams
  • Identify and maximise upselling and cross-selling opportunities
  • Build, train, and develop a high-performing F&B team
  • 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
  • Training, development, and apprenticeship opportunities
  • Social events, wellbeing initiatives, and team activities
  • Meals on duty
  • Free laundry and dry cleaning
  • Employee discounts on accommodation and F&B
  • Interest-free season ticket loan
  • Life assurance
  • Recommend a Friend Scheme
  • Length of service–related benefits and holiday increases

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
