Assistant Manager – Up to
34k plus service charge – The Victoria Surbiton
We’re looking for a superstar Assistant Manager to
join us for an exciting new chapter as we reopen our beautifully refurbished
pub! We’re not just looking for someone to “keep the wheels turning” We want a
hands-on leader who thrives on connecting with people, brings fresh ideas, and
isn’t afraid to get stuck in. You’ll work closely with Matthew, our supportive
GM, on everything from training and developing the team, to shaping new food
& drink ideas, planning events, and getting creative with marketing. You’ll
be people-focused and confident in being the manager on duty.
Where are we?
The Victoria is a beautiful Young’s pub right in the heart of Surbiton’s
bustling High Street - a real locals’ local with bags of charm. With easy
travel links from London and short skip away from Kingston we are perfectly
placed.
Why now?
In August 2025 we’ll be undergoing a huge refurbishment. Think fresh interiors,
a gorgeous new look, and a brand-new menu. We’re also giving
our massive garden (the best in Surbiton!) a full makeover, making it
an even bigger draw all year round. We’re planning a grand re-opening to show
it all off, and we want an Assistant Manager who’s just as excited as we are to
shape the next chapter of The Vic’s story. This is your chance to help lead a
passionate team, put your stamp on the way we do things, and be a key part of a
celebration the local community will be talking about.
What we do
We’re proud to serve the best seasonal British dishes (including our Guardian
5-star rated Sunday roast!) alongside specials inspired by our customers’ and
team’s travels. We keep things fun with our famous Burger Shack ,
serving juicy patties, chicken wings, Louisiana hot sauces and spud nuggets ,
right next to our huge, much-loved garden oasis. Covered and cosy in winter,
sunny and buzzing in summer, it’s a true gem in the middle of a bustling High
Street and about to look better than ever.
From perfectly poured Young’s Original beer to a cracking
wine list, our product knowledge is second to none, and we love passing that on
to our guests.

Our team
We’re a small but cracking squad who work hard, have each other’s backs, and
know how to celebrate the wins (usually with a burger and a pint). If you want
to be part of a pub that’s about to open its doors to a whole new era — and
have a real say in how we do it — we’d love to hear from you.
