Waiting Staff – Cheshire Cat, Vintage Inns
No CV to hand? No problem! Our application process is fully mobile-friendly and takes just 2 minutes—no CV required.
Join Cheshire Cat, part of Vintage Inns, where we serve traditional guides, warm service, and a welcoming atmosphere right here in our charming rural pubs. Experience our roaring log fires, hearty food, and cosy vibes—because we’re more than just a pub; we’re where great moments happen.
About the Role
As Waiting Staff, you’ll be the face of our team, ensuring every guest feels welcomed, valued, and utterly satisfied from their first landing at the door until they leave smiling. Your role is to turn a good meal into an exceptional, memorable experience.
If herding size 4s, the occasional queue or lively conversation pales in comparison to the fun of serving an eclectic bunch of regulars, you’ve found your comrades.
At Vintage Inns, embrace the charm of nothing expat, overused or pretentious – just a straightforward pub. This is unexpected personality and wit, respect and common sense, people-skills you can’t money train.
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.
