From summer job to long-term career: Why M&B is more than a stopgap

Summer jobs often get tagged as just a quick way to earn some extra cash before heading back to uni. 

But at M&B, we think summer gigs can be way more than a stopgap. Loads of people join us just for the summer and end up finding a career they love, staying with us long after the sun goes down.

If you’re looking for a summer job in the UK that’s fun, flexible, and might just kickstart your future, you’re in the right place. Let’s dive into why M&B is the perfect spot to turn a summer job into something much bigger. 

What makes M&B summer jobs in the UK stand out

Our summer jobs aren’t your usual boring gigs; we’re all about creating a friendly, inclusive, and buzzing atmosphere where you’ll enjoy coming to work. 

From day one, you get hands-on training that makes sure you know your stuff and feel confident in your role.

Some people love being front of house, chatting with guests and making sure everyone feels welcome. 

Some prefer getting stuck in behind the bar or learning the ropes in the kitchen — and even there, you'll still be welcoming guests and bringing the good vibes. In most of our pubs and bars, every role is guest-facing, so you’ll be part of the experience from the get-go, supported by a team that makes every shift fun.

Whatever your style, there’s a role that suits you, and you’ll be part of a team that’s always got your back, making every shift fun. 

How summer jobs at M&B can turn into full-time careers

A lot of people join us for a summer job and end up staying way longer, and we love to see it. Once you’re in, you’ll quickly realise there is a vast range of opportunities to grow with us.

Plenty of our managers, chefs, and team leaders started out in summer roles, picked up some experience, and decided to stick around.

With ongoing training, apprenticeships, and clear paths to progress, a summer job at M&B can easily turn into a long-term career. Stick with us and who knows where it could take you!
