The Square Pig is a busy, vibrant pub in the heart of Holborn, combining great food, quality drinks, and a loyal customer base with a prime Central London location. We're looking for an experienced General Manager who can build on that success and take the business to the next level.

You'll have full ownership of the day-to-day operation, with the opportunity to drive sales, grow your team, and make a genuine impact on the future of the business.
Join us at Metro Pubs, where our pubs are at the heart of city life, striving to provide a home away from home for both locals and visitors to the capital alike. All of our pubs are individual and unbranded, each embodying its own personality and character. We’re the place to laugh with friends, to spend quality time with family, and to enjoy all that is great about a community pub – the food, the drink, the service and the atmosphere.
As General Manager, you’ll have the freedom to succeed to build a business to be proud of, whilst developing your team and creating a warm welcome for your customers. From the moment you step through the door, you’ll lead by example make sure our customers, and teams, have a great time.
Why The Square Pig?
The Square Pig offers the best of both worlds: the energy and footfall of Central London alongside a pub that has built a strong reputation with both local guests and visitors.
If you're looking for a role where you can put your stamp on an established business, work with a great team, and be part of a pub that's already a destination in its own right, we'd love to hear from you.
