About Us
Where are we?
The Victoria is a stunning Young's pub in the heart of Surbiton, proudly standing on its busy High Street. We've got great bus links from Kingston, Chessington, and Norbiton and we're only a couple of stops on the train from Wimbledon, Esher, Weybridge, and Walton...you can get to us from anywhere!
What do we do?
We're a locals' local with great food. We're proud to serve the best seasonal British dishes with specials that are inspired by our customers' and team's travels, with a special investment in our Sunday roast (scoring 5 stars from The Guardian). We pride ourselves on excellent customer service, a warm welcome, and product knowledge like no other pub in Surbiton. From our famous Young's Original beer to our stunning wine selection, we know our stuff and can't wait to show you what's what!
We love to have fun with our food and drink and our Burger Shack is a true testament to this. We are the only pub in Surbiton with a Burger Shack, Young's institution serving up the juiciest patties with chicken wings, Louisiana hot sauces, and spud nuggets! The Burger Shack backs onto our famous garden. An oasis in the middle of a bustling High Street, covered and heated in the winter and open to those glorious rays in the summer!
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.

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.
