Why working in a pub is the best seasonal job

Thinking about taking on a seasonal pub job this year? This is your sign to go for it! 

The lively and welcoming atmosphere of a pub is next to none and promises an enjoyable mix of work and social interaction. 

Joining Greene King will take your seasonal job experience to new heights, offering a place where you can grow and build connections. Let’s jump into five great reasons why working in our pub is the best choice for a seasonal job: 

Enjoy the Best of a seasonal atmosphere

Each season in a pub offers fun reasons to celebrate with seasonal food and drink. Whether it's watching summer sports with refreshing drinks, savouring hearty dishes and warming beverages in winter, or indulging in autumn's rich flavours and spring's fresh offerings, there's always something special to look forward to. The rotating menu keeps things exciting and offers opportunities to discover new favourites. Celebrating the season's best ensures memorable moments. 

We pour happiness into lives in every way we can. Customers visit our pubs, restaurants, and hotels to enjoy memorable and fun experiences. And this is no different for our teams. 

Build on your skill set

From customer service and time management to communication and teamwork, a pub job can help you to develop or enhance key skills that are transferable to a lot of different career paths. 

Working with people from all walks of life in a bustling environment can improve your ability to adapt and handle a bunch of workplace scenarios. 

What’s more, you can spice up your CV with these new skills and use them in any future jobs. 

Turn your seasonal job into a permanent job

 A seasonal job is a great way to get your foot in the door, learn the basics of the pub floor and the business, and connect with your team. 

This stepping stone is an opportunity to explore other careers within the business. Take Natalia, for example, who started as a seasonal temp and is now a Digital Administrator. 

At Greene King, you’ll have a range of exciting roles to explore and progress into and both your managers and team will always support you in getting there. 

Some extra money for the  season 

One of the most enticing parts of a seasonal pub job is the chance to earn extra money during the season. 

Creating memorable experiences, regardless of the occasion, can sometimes involve costs, especially with gift-giving traditions or planning special events. Taking up a seasonal pub job can provide the extra income needed to enjoy these moments without financial stress. This way, you can still indulge in creating lasting memories without worrying about your budget.

Perks and benefits of a Seasonal pub job

Not only will you be in a job you enjoy, but there are perks and benefits that come with the job too. 

For example, at Greene King, you’ll unlock 33% off food and drink at our restaurants and pubs, half-price hotel stays, and a 15% discount for your nearest and dearest. 

If this doesn’t make you a hit with your family and friends, we don’t know what will! 

We also know that life is expensive for everyone. That’s why we’ve built financial support into our benefits to help. We’ve got you covered if you need to get paid early, access a grant for those unexpected life emergencies, or shop for less at major UK retailers. 

And this just touching the surface of the perks and benefits you’ll enjoy at Greene King.
