Chef

Overview

Working as a chef at Butlins gives you the opportunity to provide an amazing experience to our guests wherever they choose to dine on our resorts. We offer a wide range of eateries including our onsite pub, an American Diner, our chicken restaurant, and our very own Papa John's pizzeria with menus designed to excite our guests.

We truly believe that variety is the spice of life, and in these roles you’ll have the opportunity to develop and perfect your skills in a selection of kitchens with a variety of cooking styles. You’ll work alongside other talented chefs and industry experts with access to a wide range of ingredients and varied menus.

Experience in a role at a similar level is preferred, but not essential. A willingness to work flexible hours, including evenings, weekends, and holidays, is required to keep our venues turning over smoothly throughout the different breaks we offer to our guests.

Prepare and serve high-quality food that delights guests.

Collaborate with chefs and kitchen staff to create diverse menus.

Maintain kitchen hygiene and adherence to food safety standards.

Support the team by understanding your role and adding value to the guest and team experience.

Adapt to flexible schedules, including evenings, weekends, and holidays.

At Butlins, we’re all about fun, excitement, and adventure by the bucketload! For over 80 years we’ve been delighting hundreds of thousands of guests each year, whether on a nonstop action family break or our epic adult‑only Big Weekenders.

Our culture is built on our three mighty values, and we’re all about creating smiles, encouraging a get‑stuck‑in attitude, and caring for each other. If you want a role where you create smiles, aren’t afraid to get stuck in, and where the team genuinely cares for each other, this could be the perfect fit for you.
