About The Blue Bell

​Residing in the heart of the picturesque Cheshire village of Smallwood, The Blue Bell is a quintessential country pub. Following a extensive six-month refurbishment, the pub seamlessly blends classic rustic charm—exposed beams, cozy nooks, and a picturesque beer garden—with revitalized, modern interiors.

​Our menus celebrate fresh, locally sourced Cheshire produce, alongside carefully kept real ales, fine wines, and warm hospitality.

​About Pear Hospitality Group

​The Blue Bell is proudly part of Pear Hospitality Group, an independent, family-operated business based in Cheshire. Led by family CEO Andrew Pear and Managing Director Jake Pear, the group has built an outstanding reputation across the North West for hospitality excellence.

​Our portfolio includes some of the region's most celebrated venues:

  • ​Pecks Restaurant (Congleton) – Legendary fine dining holding an AA Rosette.
  • ​The Wheatsheaf (Sandbach) – A 5-Star AA Gold Award hotel and gastropub.
  • ​The Lion & Swan (Congleton) – A 16th-century coaching inn restored into a luxury venue with an AA Rosette.
  • ​Radley & Co. – A vibrant live music venue and late-night lounge.

​At Pear Hospitality, we believe in investing in our people, maintaining high standards, and giving our managers the autonomy to run their venues like their own while backed by a supportive central team.

  • ​Events & Community Engagement: Drive village events, seasonal promotions (from summer garden offerings to festive menus), and local marketing initiatives.
  • ​Standards & Compliance: Ensure total compliance with food safety, health & safety, and licensing regulations.

​Who We Are Looking For

  • ​Proven Experience: At least 2–3 years as a General Manager or strong Deputy Manager in a quality-driven gastropub or premium hospitality setting.
  • ​Passion for Quality: A genuine love for fresh seasonal food, fine wines, real ales, and memorable hospitality.
  • ​Commercial Acumen: Strong financial literacy with experience managing GP margins, labour budgets, and operational performance.
  • ​Inspiring Leader: Someone who leads by example on the floor, keeping the team motivated during busy services.
  • ​Local Connection: Someone who understands the charm of a village pub and knows how to make it a thriving hub for the community.

​What We Offer

  • ​Competitive salary commensurate with experience, plus an achievable bonus scheme.
  • ​50% off food for up to 6 people across all Pear Hospitality Group venues.
  • ​Clear career development and progression opportunities within a growing group.
  • ​Direct support from an experienced, family-run leadership team.
