Chef - Buffet Restaurant

About the Role

We’re looking for experienced Chefs to join the Butlin's Buffets team based in Skegness.

We truly believe that variety is the spice of life and in this role you’ll have the opportunity to lead and develop the skills of our team in one of our fantastic buffet restaurants. A Butlin’s resort is the home of getting stuck in and no trip to the seaside would be complete without great food and we offer this to every guest, every time in our restaurants.
