Commis Chef
The world famous White Cross (a.k.a. The Pub that Floods) is the only traditional pub on the Richmond riverfront, and has long been a part of every day life for Richmond locals. Situated on a beautiful stretch of the Thames, there is no better place to be for a relaxing pint by the fire on a cold winter's day, or soaking up the sun with a spritz in hand in the summer - not to mention breathtaking views to enjoy throughout the year.
Our menu is simple yet classic, as we aim to showcase the best of premium seasonal British cuisine to the whole world who come and visit us. It is also one of the only remaining pubs where you can, quite literally, be flooded in! The Thames in Richmond is tidal, which means several days a month the tide is high enough to come into the garden. If it is exceptionally high, then enjoy the feeling of being marooned in a pub with a pint of beer or a glass of wine as nature won't allow you to leave (not a bad excuse we think!)
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.
