Finn Lough is not a hotel in the traditional sense. It's a down-to-Irish-earth lakeside retreat shaped by weather, trees, good food and the people who care for this place every day. Our food story is simple: beautiful seasonal produce, thoughtful cooking and warm, unscripted service. No posturing, no pretence. Just hospitality that feels real and well considered.
We serve quietly ambitious food crafted by our all-female chef team. It's elegant but never fussy, rooted in the landscape and guided by the seasons. Guests come here to slow down, breathe and enjoy something genuine. Your role is to help make that feel effortless.
We're looking for a Food and Beverage Manager who can lift every part of our F&B offering through clarity, care and smart, grounded leadership. If you enjoy working somewhere where quality matters, ideas are welcomed and growth is part of the everyday rhythm, you'll fit right in.
Shape the Journey: You will own the full F&B journey, from our refined breakfast experience to dinner service in Lasair, and from bar performance to real, unscripted events and private dining.
Embrace the Land: You'll encourage participation in the story of our food. This includes collaborating on menu creation and feeding into our growers to ensure a strong, seasonal offering from our polytunnels and kitchen gardens.
Lead with Care: You will be on the floor, leading with a warm, human, and unscripted approach that favours generosity over formality
