Due to expansion and having a lot going on we are now looking to expand our management team as soon as possible, as a result we currently have positions available for assistant general managers, duty managers and venue crew. Full details of each role can be found below as well as a short summary of our current venue plans…

About GRUB

Our current venue is comprised of three bars and a cinema over two floors and a beer garden with a total capacity of 500.

If any of these roles sound like a good idea please do drop us an email with your CV and a covering letter to louis@grubmcr.com. Interviews will be taking place next week. We're not a traditional venue as such so would recommend doing a bit of research or popping down if you can. Cheers!
