Food & Beverage Manager
Location: In the heart of the beautiful New Forest in the village of Burley.
Are you the kind of person who can spot an empty wine glass from across the room? Do you thrive on creating memorable guest experiences while keeping calm when the restaurant is full, the wedding breakfast is about to be served, and someone has just asked for "one more table"?
If that sounds like you, we'd love to hear from you.
We're looking for an enthusiastic Food & Beverage Manager to lead our restaurant and Conference & Banqueting operations. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone with solid hospitality experience who's ready to make their mark, or for an ambitious supervisor or assistant manager looking to step into a bigger role with the right support.
What you'll be doing
You'll be responsible for the day-to-day operation of our Food & Beverage department, ensuring our guests receive exceptional service whether they're joining us for breakfast, dinner, afternoon tea, a wedding, or a corporate event.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
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.

- Has experience in restaurant and/or Conference & Banqueting operations.

- Has a genuine passion for hospitality and guest service.
- Can juggle priorities with a smile (most of the time!).
- Is organised, proactive and commercially aware.
- Is keen to learn and grow if they're ready to take the next step in their career.

- A 45-hour contract over five working days.
- Competitive salary package.
- The opportunity to work in a beautiful hotel in the heart of the New Forest.
