The Head of Food and Beverage is one of the most important roles in our Castle Estate hotel company, because of the vital sources of revenue generated from the restaurant, bars, banqueting, weddings, corporate and other events.

As a market leader in high-end exclusive use events and a luxury leisure destination, applicants for the Head of Food and Beverage must possess a well-developed set of business skills and be able to successfully deliver a wide range of events from Exclusive Use weddings, to high-end international Conferences, private dining bookings, and so forth.
