Papa Johns Chef

About the Role

Are you ready to embark on a culinary adventure? We’re searching for passionate Chefs to join us at one of the UK’s most unique Papa John’s venues—one of only two restaurant-style locations in the country! Here, you’ll be part of a vibrant kitchen that delivers pizza perfection and creates magical moments for our guests.

Enjoy a guaranteed 35 hours per week , working on a flexible rota of 5 days out of 7, including weekends. Our shifts vary from early starts at 7 AM to late finishes, especially during our Big Weekenders when our pizza van stays open until 4 AM. But don’t worry—you won’t always be in the van! Your role will include a mix of shifts across both the restaurant and the van, providing you with variety and the chance to collaborate with different team members.

If you’re relocating, we may offer live-in accommodation to help you settle in comfortably, subject to a DBS check.

We’re looking for team members with hands-on Chef experience!

If you have a background in a kitchen environment and have made fresh pizzas before, we want to hear from you! Our chefs at Butlin’s are truly special, and our guests return year after year—not just for the sunshine and shows, but for the warm welcome and delicious food served in our restaurants.

If you’re eager to grow your skills and be part of a team that makes a real impact, we’d love to welcome you to our kitchen!

At Butlin’s, we’re all about fun, excitement, and adventure! For over 80 years, we’ve been delighting hundreds of thousands of guests each year, whether they’re enjoying a non-stop family break or our epic Adult-only Big Weekenders.

Ask any of our team members, past and present, and they’ll tell you that one of the best things about working at Butlin’s is our incredible culture! We’re dedicated to providing our guests with an Altogether More Entertaining and Fun Break , brought to life through our three mighty values.

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. There has never been a more exciting time to join Butlin’s!
