My client is a growing, entrepreneurial leisure business combining high-quality F&B, indoor and outdoor experiences, events, and family-focused activities. This is a new role to add value across this site, looking at all areas of the business and how you can elevate it, with a strong focus on Food and Beverage and the events side of the business, which can be a bit seasonal at times.
This is a unique operation with a strong focus on creating a great day-out experience, with F&B playing a major part in the overall customer journey. As the business continues to grow, they are looking for a senior operator who can take ownership of the operation and help shape its next stage.
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.

We want a strong F&B-led operator rather than someone purely from the pub or leisure sector. Ideally, someone who has worked in a destination pub, premium pub with gardens/land, outdoor dining concept, farm shop, leisure venue, or similar hospitality-led business.
You'll need strong commercial experience, a hands-on approach, and an entrepreneurial mindset, someone who sees opportunities and gets things done.
The business sits within the adventure playground/leisure world, but the key is someone who genuinely understands F&B, outdoor hospitality, and delivering a great customer experience.
