IMPACT EVOLVE is proud to be working exclusively with Hawkstone to support the search for a Venue Manager to lead the hospitality operation at College Farm.
Hawkstone has had huge momentum over the last 12 months. What started as one of the most talked-about challenger brands in the drinks space has continued to grow quickly, building real traction across retail, hospitality and brand presence. College Farm is now becoming a central part of that next chapter - and the ambition for the site is significant.
The venue already turns over in excess of £1m annually through tours, retail, and the current taproom setup, and that is before the site's full potential has been unlocked. The plan now is to take it several steps further. The venue is being developed into a premium rural destination, with an upgraded all-weather tent, expanded shop, permanent food vendors, outdoor spaces, a structured events programme and a paddock development that will bring a farm-to-brew experience to life - long table dining, fire kitchen, orchards, hop gardens and more.
This role is about taking ownership of that hospitality operation, building the team and commercial infrastructure around it, and helping shape what it becomes.
It is not a maintenance role. It is not a standard pub GM position. Think of it as running your own business within a business - with the brand, the investment and the ambition already behind you. The right person will be entrepreneurial, commercially sharp, operationally strong, hands-on when needed and genuinely excited by the challenge of building something as it evolves.
