With 13 different brands across M&B, you'll have the chance to gain hands-on experience, build new skills, and climb the career ladder in a supportive environment. Ready to enjoy the career progression you deserve? Let’s dive in!

Enjoy career progression in the kitchen 

At M&B, we’re dedicated to helping our teams grow and thrive in their kitchen manager careers. We offer training, development opportunities, and the support needed to gain the skills that will drive your progression. 

Many of our kitchen team members begin their journey with us through apprenticeships, which can be taken at any stage of your career – even alongside your current job. Ben, for example, started with us in 2015 as an Apprentice and progressed so well that he was promoted five times in as many years, most recently to Kitchen Manager at The Hollybrook. 

Our apprenticeship programmes can be undertaken at any stage in your career, even alongside your current day jobs to complement your existing role. 

We have 13 brands with different offerings, so you’ll be able to develop your skills by working across the whole M&B group and enjoy the career progression it brings. Learn what it is like to work at these different brands as a Kitchen Manager. 

A Kitchen Manager job with structure and support

Anyone who has worked in a kitchen knows things can get busy – especially during peak times. That’s where our Kitchen Managers shine. 

They implement systems and processes to keep everything running smoothly, ensuring safety, cleanliness, and the right stock levels at all times. 

As a Kitchen Manager at M&B, you'll be responsible for organising team shifts and creating a positive work atmosphere. 

This not only reduces stress during service but also improves the experience for our team and our guests. A structured environment makes all the difference in your kitchen manager career!

Building strong teams and bonds in the kitchen 

As a Kitchen Manager, you’re the glue that holds the team together. From pre-shift briefings to post-service check-ins, your role ensures everyone is on the same page, working efficiently and harmoniously. 

The kitchen is where the magic happens, and at M&B, we believe the best teams are like families. 

Our Kitchen Managers create an environment where everyone looks out for each other, grows together, and communicates effectively to get the job done. It’s the people and culture that make the role so rewarding – the camaraderie is unmatched.

A fun and rewarding Kitchen Manager career 

Being a Kitchen Manager at M&B is anything but boring! Sure, the role comes with its challenges, but there’s never a dull moment, and there’s so much more to it than meets the eye. 

You’ll be in charge of keeping everything running smoothly, supporting your team, and making sure the kitchen is always on point. 

But it’s not just about getting things done – it’s about the fun, the team bonds, and the satisfaction of seeing everything come together. Want to know more about what it’s really like? Discover the things you didn’t know about working as a Kitchen Manager at M&B!
