Behind every great stay

Our kitchen teams move fast, cook big and create meals guests genuinely look forward to.

Introduction

Whether you’ve worked in kitchens before or you’re completely new to it, there’s a place for you here. We’ll show you how we do things – from preparing and cooking our breakfasts to serving up evening meals for our guests.

Kitchen roles

Ready for what's next?

Kitchen Team Leader

Lead the kitchen and the people in it. You’ll cook alongside your team, organise the shift and keep everything running smoothly from prep through to service. It’s hands-on leadership, making sure your team has what they need to serve up great food for our guests.

Kitchen Team Member

No kitchen experience? No problem – we’ll teach you what you need to know. You’ll prepare and cook food for our guests, from breakfast favourites to evening meals. Depending on the hotel, you could be part of a busy kitchen team or running the kitchen yourself on shift. Either way, you’ll have the training and support to get the job done.

Why here, why now?

Diversity & Inclusion

Different people make us even better

Our four inclusion networks give colleagues a voice and help shape how we do things. And our work on inclusion is getting noticed too – in 2025, we picked up three Inclusion In awards.
