Culture, Progression and Length of Service

We are a proud family of over 200 pirates, and each member of the team is key to making the business as successful as it is today. We want our pirates to feel fulfilled and challenged at work with a clear line of progression.

Some of our team have been with us for nearly 20 years and several for over a decade, which makes us happy. We like to promote from within and nurture talent so that you can be the best you can be. Our culture is supportive and we actively embrace and encourage equality and diversity.

 Our Values

Passion: We strongly believe in everything we do and passion sits at the heart of the Tom Kerridge Group. It drives us forward, creates our focus and energises our commitment.

Quality:  Whatever we do we strive to do it well, we never settle for anything less than excellence. We take pride in our ability to offer nothing but the best.

Simplicity: To be simple is to be focused. We don’t overcomplicate, we strive for clarity and consistency and make decisions quickly and pragmatically and focus on what’s important.

Teamwork: Together we are stronger. The strength in our team does not only lie in our combined experience and expertise, but in our ability to trust each other no matter what the circumstances.

Perks of the Job

The perks of the job vary, depending on location but we are confident that our rewards package will benefit all. From full gym memberships at the top health clubs and high street discount platforms to referral bonuses and cycle to work schemes, our rewards packages are broad, tailored and competitive.

Supporting our Teams

We are committed to supporting our teams through any challenges they may be facing, whether those concerns are personal or work related. Alongside internal support you will receive from your colleagues and managers, we also provide access to Hospitality Actions Employee Assistance Program (EAP). Our EAP allows you to call in confidence for legal, parental, financial, emotional or professional support.

Training and Development

We don’t just want to attract new talent; we want to keep hold of the great colleagues we already have. That’s why, when you join us, we make sure you get the training and development you need to help further your career. As well as one-on-one time with your Head Chef or Manager, we’re big fans of technology, using it to reach everyone, in every location, at every level.

Training and development continues throughout your career at The Tom Kerridge Group including internal training and the opportunity to stage at any of our other restaurants, alongside external accredited courses such as the WSET Diploma in Wine and Highfield Level 3 Awards.

The fun bits!

On top of creating a great work environment, it is also important to us that we are able to offer our team members opportunities and experiences outside of their day-to-day role. These opportunities range from our monthly vineyard tours, organised by our Assistant Manager at The Hand & Flowers, Gavin Hills to our events at Lush by Tom Kerridge which includes our Pub in The Park Festivals and the Monaco Grand Prix; every employee is encouraged to get stuck in and try their hand at something new.

“Working in hospitality is a way of life. At the top level it’s hard work, but the rewards you can get out of it are huge. It’s not just a job, but the chance to learn new skills, travel the world, meet amazing people and be involved in amazing events, for us, it’s a long-term career. Come and join our pirate ship!” Tom Kerridge.
