Restaurant Manager

Join Cromlix at a Defining Moment in Our Story

Cromlix is entering a bold new chapter — and this is a rare opportunity to be part of something truly special.

Following an ambitious and transformative refurbishment, Cromlix is re-emerging reimagined, refined, and ready to set a new benchmark for luxury hospitality in Scotland. Our evolution includes the launch of a new 65-cover destination restaurant, an intimate 16-cover fine-dining experience, a beautifully reimagined afternoon tea offering, and an expanded events space. Alongside this, we are introducing three new bedrooms and a private wellness cottage, further enriching the guest journey and deepening Cromlix’s sense of place, calm, and escape.

This is not simply an upgrade — it is a step change in the Cromlix experience. Every detail has been carefully considered to elevate how we welcome, host, and inspire our guests, while staying true to the warmth, character, and authenticity that define Cromlix.

For our team, this moment represents something equally exciting: the chance to help shape a newly evolved operation from the ground up, to grow with a business investing confidently in its future, and to be part of a culture that values excellence, creativity, and genuine hospitality in equal measure.

If you are passionate about delivering exceptional experiences, take pride in your craft, and want to be part of a team at a truly pivotal moment, there has never been a more exciting time to join Cromlix.

The Role

As Restaurant Manager, you will be the heartbeat of our restaurant — setting the tone, leading from the floor, and ensuring every guest experience is effortless, generous and memorable.

You will take ownership of the day-to-day operation, working closely with the kitchen, senior leadership team and front-of-house colleagues to deliver consistently high standards at volume, without ever losing the personal touch that defines Cromlix.

This is a hands-on, people-first role, suited to a confident leader who thrives in a fast-paced environment and takes pride in developing teams as much as delighting guests.

What You’ll Bring

We’re looking for someone who combines operational excellence with genuine hospitality:

• Proven experience in restaurant management, ideally within a high-volume, quality-led operation
• A strong understanding of rosette-level service delivery and what it takes to maintain consistency at pace
• A people-led leadership style — calm, supportive, and clear, with high expectations and high care
• A natural presence on the floor, leading by example and building confidence within the team
• Excellent organisational and communication skills, with strong commercial awareness
• A passion for service, detail, and creating environments where both guests and teams flourish

Why Cromlix

Cromlix is not about formality for formality’s sake. We are about thoughtful luxury, genuine warmth and doing the simple things exceptionally well.

You’ll be joining a business that:

• Is proudly independent and family-owned
• Values kind leadership, professionalism and integrity
• Invests in its people and promotes from within wherever possible
• Is recognised at the highest levels of the industry for both service and culture

In Return

We offer a competitive package, the opportunity to lead a flagship restaurant within a prestigious hotel, and the chance to play a key role in shaping Cromlix’s future.

If you are an experienced restaurant leader ready to take on something special — and to do so with heart, clarity and ambition — we would love to hear from you.
