About the Roles
We're on the lookout for Chefs to join us in one of the UK's most unique Papa John's venues—one of only two restaurant-style Papa John's locations in the country offering a full dine-in and buffet experience. This isn't your typical takeaway; it's a vibrant kitchen where you'll help deliver pizza perfection moments as part of the holiday magic.
Don't worry though, you won't always be in the van! Your role will include a mix of shifts across both the restaurant and the van, giving you variety and the chance to work in different parts of the team. And if you're relocating, live-in accommodation may be available to help you settle in quickly and comfortably, subject to a DBS check.
Working Hours
You’ll be guaranteed 35 hours per week, working to a rota of 5 days out of 7 which will include weekends. Our shifts require flexibility; they range from early starts at 7am to late finishes - especially when you're scheduled in our Papa John's pizza van, which stays open until 4am on our Big Weekenders.
About You
We'd love to hear from you if you have experience working in a kitchen, especially if you're from a similar cooking environment and made fresh pizzas before! For our Chef roles, we're looking for team members with some hands-on Chef experience. Our chefs at Butlin's are something special—and our guests think so too. Many return year after year, not just for the sunshine and shows, but for the warm welcome and delicious food served up in our restaurants. If you're ready to grow your skills and be part of a team that makes a real impact, we'd love to welcome you to the kitchen.
About Butlin's

As The Home of Entertainment, we pull out all the stops to provide our guests with an 'Altogether More Entertaining and Fun Break', from all-action family holidays to adult-only Big Weekenders, brought to life through our three mighty values. So, if you're looking for a role where you can Create Smiles, where you aren't afraid to Get Stuck In and where the team genuinely Care For Each Other, we think you'll fit right in!
