The Alice Lisle
The Alice Lisle is a listed pub set in the New Forest countryside. Something of a dining destination, the pub has a great reputation for food, attracting a diverse mix of customers including families, walkers and local foodies.
We have big plans for The Alice Lisle, and we are looking for a sharp, sales-driven Head Chef to help us execute them. We love where we are in Ringwood, and our goal is simple: to make our pub the definitive place to be in the New Forest for any occasion, deeply rooted in the local community.
We’ve just launched Betty, our brand-new pizza truck out in the garden, and we want to seriously expand our events and outdoor offering. You will be stepping in to take full control of the food operation, working alongside Dan, Luke, and Ollie to drive sales and push the business forward.
If you are naturally competitive, commercial-minded, and thrive on the pace of a busy kitchen, this is the perfect spot to make your mark.
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.

- Strong Leadership: You set exceptionally high standards, communicate clearly, and stay calm when the kitchen gets fast and high-pressure.
- The Fundamentals: Deep food knowledge, total pride in kitchen hygiene/safety, and a passion for fresh, consistent cooking.
