In fact, we’re the leading restaurant and pub company in the UK, with 14 brands across 1,700 businesses. 

So, if a career as a chef cooking the Nations most loved roast dinner at Toby Carvery, as a mixologist creating stylish cocktails at Browns in the heart of London or as a front of house team member serving hand-pulled real ale at the legendary White Horse in Parson’s Green is of interest to you, a job working within one our of leading brands may be what you are looking for!

What makes working for one of our brands so great?

Made up of 14 unique brands, we are able to offer our employees the flexibility to work in a hospitality role that best suits their skills and lifestyle. From serving coffee at a breakfast shift in All Bar One to making cocktails on a Saturday evening at Miller and Carter, there is a role and business to meet everybody’s lifestyle.

And just like any family, we believe in the ethos that sharing is caring! If you would like to move to another brand, whether that be down to relocating to a new location, the opportunity to progress in your role or simply for a change of scenery, as an employee you will have the opportunity to develop and grow across any of our 14 brands.
