One team, many flavours: What it’s like working across M&B brands
Ever wished you could try something new at work without starting from scratch? At Mitchells & Butlers, you totally can.
With a family of over a dozen different pub and restaurant brands, from sizzling grills to stylish cocktail bars, you’ve got loads of options to explore, all under one roof (well, company).
Whether you’re curious about life behind the bar at All Bar One, want to serve up perfectly cooked steaks at Miller & Carter, or fancy switching gears from a cosy pub to a buzzing city spot, there’s no need to hand in your notice.
At M&B, you can mix things up, learn new skills, and take your career in all sorts of tasty directions, without ever leaving the team.
So, what’s it really like to move around within M&B?
What makes working across M&B brands so unique?
With M&B, you’re not tied to just one brand. You’ve got a whole menu of options to try out.
Fancy the fast-paced energy of a Harvester kitchen? Go for it. Curious about the premium dining vibe at Miller & Carter? You can give that a go too. Or maybe you want to try your hand at shaking cocktails at All Bar One or delivering comfort food classics at Toby Carvery, it’s all possible.
Plus, if working behind the scenes is more your style, there are plenty of opportunities at our head office where you can help shape the future of all our brands.
Each brand has its own style, its own crowd, and its own way of doing things, which means you’ll never get bored. One week you might be serving laid-back family lunches, the next you could be plating up for a fancy date night crowd. And the best part? You’re still part of one big M&B family the whole time.
How does moving between brands help your career grow?
Switching things up across different M&B brands isn’t just fun, it’s a smart move for your career. Trying new roles or venues means you’re constantly picking up fresh skills, meeting new people, and discovering what really fires you up.
Maybe you start out as a server at a family-friendly Harvester, then move over to a slick All Bar One to learn the ropes behind the bar. Or maybe you jump into a head office role for a bit to see how the magic happens off the floor. Every step gives you new experience and new ways to shine.
The best bit? M&B loves helping you grow. There’s loads of training, support, and clear career paths to help you climb the ladder, whether you want to lead a team, become a kitchen superstar, or even move into management.
From pub floor to so much more: Why M&B’s the place to stay
Sticking with M&B means you get all the excitement of trying new things without the hassle of starting over somewhere new.
You’re part of a big, supportive team that’s got your back, with awesome benefits like staff discounts, flexible hours, and loads of chances to learn and grow.
Whether you want to jump between brands, explore head office roles, or carve out a totally unique path, M&B is all about helping you find your flavour and make your career your own.
