General Manager Vacancy
Bel & The Dragon, Kingsclere
Unfortunately, due to circumstances beyond our control, we’re once again looking for a new General Manager for this great site.
Situated in the heart of Kingsclere, a village between Newbury and Basingstoke, with a significant refurbishment planned for FY27, this is a great opportunity for someone to make an immediate impact!
With 9 cosy bedrooms, a fantastic bar, restaurant and courtyard garden, it’s known locally for its excellent food and warm welcome. The site benefits from tourists visiting the area due to its proximity to Highclere Castle, known for being the home of the Crawley family in the Downton Abbey.
Nestled amidst the rolling hills and verdant landscapes of Kingsclere, Bel and The Dragon stands as a timeless gem within this charming town. The building’s historical architecture and cozy interior provide a welcoming haven for both locals and visitors alike. From the neighbouring horse racing crowd or from the many shooting parties, the spirit of community flourishes within the walls of Bel and The Dragon. Whether it's a quiet pint by the fireplace or a lively gathering during community events, Bel and The Dragon reflects the heart of this idyllic town, where the appeal lies not only in its picturesque setting but also in the authentic connections forged among its residents.
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.
The new General Manager must be the face of the business with exceptional customer service skills, whilst also possessing the ability to adapt to the seasonal trends and the peaks in the business. The drive to get out and about and push sales further in both the corporate and leisure market is also a must.
