Mulled wine and pigs in blankets season is upon us, and we're ramping up for a busy time of year. Our hospitality teams work hard all year round, but in December they make experiences extra special for our guests. So what does it look like working during Christmas at M&B?

Well, over at Toby Carvery, the team serve up the best Christmash you'll find, while our people at All Bar One are mixing this season's most festive cocktails. Read on for a little taste of what you can expect from a Christmas job within Mitchells and Butlers (M&B).

Create memorable Christmas moments for our guests

Working a Christmas job at M&B is all about making the festive season magical for all our guests. Wehether it's at a cosy pub, a buzzing bar, or one of our restaurants, our customers come in for a variety of reason - catching up with old and new friends, getting together for their annual Christmas family meal, or just taking a well-needed break from Christmas shopping. 

No matter what brings them to our doors, our team takes pride in making their visit a memorable one. You won't see any resting Grinch faces - we are here to spread the Christmas cheer!

Experience teamwork that shines through the festive season

When you imagine a kitchen at Christmas time, do you think chaos? Well, that's one of the biggest myths about working in a kitchen. While it might be one of the busiest times of the years for our kitchen assistants, kitchen manager and chefs, they know how to take it all in their stride. They've got systems and processes in place that make sure they're ready to take on whatever is thrown at them each shift.

Step out the kitchen and into any one of our pubs, bars or restaurants, and you'll see the same outstanding teamwork in action. Our bar and waiting teams are experts when it comes to thinking on their feet. With the guidance of our management team, they know just what to do to get the job done.

Perks to make your Christmas job even better

Have you ever counted down the days until payday? Who are we kidding? We’ve all been there! A big bill pops up, and suddenly payday can’t come soon enough. Or, it’s Christmas time, and you’ve got a million and one presents to buy. 

Wagestream is one of our employee benefits which gives you early access to your earned pay, as well as a number of helpful resources to help you manage your finances.

Earn even more with generous holiday tips

We don't like to pick favourites, but we might just have saved the best perk until last. Wit busy shifts during the festive season, the time will absolutely fly, and before you know it, you're heading home. Our teams will vouch that it's great to work in a buzzing atmosphere and soak up all the festive cheer from our guests, but what is really the cherry on top is taking home some extra Christmas tips. Make the most of our guests' holiday generosity!

Join the festive fun with a Christmas job at M&B

Whether you're an aspiring chef with limited experience, a seasoned bartender looking for a new challenge, or a waiting staff team member with your eye on a general manager role, we'll help you take your hospitality career in the direction you want. 

We believe in investing in our people, which means providing ongoing support and training, no matter whether you're new to the industry, or you've been in the game for some time.
