This area includes businesses such as the King Street Brewhouse - a wet-lead party pub that brews its own beers, The Riverstation - a destination-dining venue famous for its food and service, the Highbury Vaults – an old school alehouse that has dedicated local following, and the Oyster House – A modern pub with rooms beside the beach in the Gower Peninsula.
The ideal candidate is a creative, entrepreneurial operator who is experienced in leading a large team of people who run individual, unique pubs. You will be a renowned people developer with the ability to inspire your team and promote our incredible people culture. You’ll have a track record of managing an area of GMs to grow their businesses, have a passion for pubs and be committed to your career in hospitality.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.

Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
We believe pubs should be differentiated and individual – each one has a completely different menu, food vision and overall business vision, and it will be your job to guide your General Managers and Head Chefs to shape these to grow the business. This isn’t picking recipes from a bank and having the same sales driving events in all your pubs either – each menu is written from scratch in each business, and it’s all about tailoring the offer and reasons to visit to each pub’s unique customer base. Alongside this focus on growing sales, you will ensure impeccable standards and controls are practiced across the area and ensure that a people-focused culture (both our pub teams and our guests) are at the heart of everything we do.
Our pubs have style and soul, and the people who work with us have pride in our culture and passion for the work they do.
