All Star Lanes brings together retro bowling, made-to-share food, and feel-good fun across four iconic London locations. With karaoke, darts, and arcade games alongside the lanes, we’ve got something for everyone - from big nights with friends to unforgettable family days out.

We have an exciting opportunity for an experienced and ambitious Kitchen Manager to join All Star Lanes. You’ll lead the kitchen team and play a key role in delivering a high-quality food offering within a fast-paced, high-energy venue.

The Role

As Kitchen Manager, you’ll be at the heart of the kitchen - setting standards, leading by example, and driving performance on every shift. With a proven background in managing successful kitchens, you’ll combine a passion for great food with strong leadership and sound commercial awareness.

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.
