What is the best part of working at the company?
Great experience, adapting to the fast paced environment was what I think I enjoyed best. Getting to learn new people as well as preparing food on fryers and grillers and restocking.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Keeping up with so many orders, from the time I started working at O'Neills I noticed that Sundays was the busiest days because of NFL, Premier League etc.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
It's a welcoming crew it's just that time has to be met with everything you are doing in the kitchen as it can get very hectic.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
I start off by checking the day dots are up to date, if not then I'll do so. Then I'll prepare the place I'm working in if any orders come through sooner than expected keeping the place clean and tidy, so it's less work when getting ready to close

A typical day at work would involve coming in at 9:00AM and start to set up the pub. This would involve setting up the bar and making sure everything was ready to open at 11:00AM. After opening I would either be mainly behind the bar, where I would serve customers drinks or on the floor, where I would be taking food orders and serving the food. This would be the main structure of the day and I would normally finish at 6:00PM or 7:00PM. The only difference was on Friday I would start at 5:00AM for the delivery shift, which involved a lot of strenuous physical activity very early in the morning! The best part of the job was definitely my co-workers, its a lively work environment and occasional quite stressful, but everybody got on really well and made it a enjoyable place to work. The management also tried to cultivate a hard working but fun environment to work in.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Good employee benefits package, area management responsive and a good general work culture

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Pressure over labour spending, unrealistic budget targets, constantly moving goal posts. Unreactive senior management who have little idea of what is happening kn front line.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Depends on area manager, could be good, could be really bad. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Long, stressful all about ticking the boxes

What is the best part of working at the company?
Staff discount and the front of house staff always have each others backs 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The fact that the managers are extremely unorganised and heartless. They will mess up and make it your problem. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Unenjoyable. There’s a general displeasure about working there across the team.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Can be alright but busy times you will be overworked and understaffed. Managers will be rude to you, raise their voices, swear and speak out of term.

-Serving customers on the bar initially until you get promoted. 
-You get to learn the tills, serve food and talk to customers. 
-You can get along with people easily, although occasionally you have to be careful what you say. 
-However, serving customers on a really busy night is the hardest part and knowing how to deal with them appropriately. 
-I enjoyed meeting new people and getting out of my comfort zone to speak to others, and making the cocktails and drinks is always a great additional, but fun skill to have.

a typical day at work can be anything from really quiet one day to manically busy the next day.
management have the right goal that they are trying to achieve e.g perfection in the kitchen but going to all lengths sometimes stepping over the boundries is unacceptable.
the hardest part of the job is surviving the heat of the kitchen on a hot day.
the most enjoyable part of the job is working with different collegues on different shifts.


I absolutely loved the team I worked with. Management was very helpful and understanding about personal and work problems. The training didn't feel rushed and everyone was happy to help. Very relaxed/stress free working environment despite it being an extremely busy pub. Everyone worked hard to make it easier for each other. Shifts were quite exhausting because you're constantly moving but at least it was never boring!

I often worked as a waitress in the restaurant with allocated divisions, I ensured that my customers were always well catered for and were given the highest standard of service. 
At weekends live music would play, this would be my favourite time of service as it was the busiest. I found that I thrived in hectic situations, using the energy from the customers to truly work my hardest and perform more effectively.  

It is a great company on what they are doing and its great what they have provided for the town but they're willingness to accommodate peoples lives outside of the work place is virtually non-existent. I got the impression that is simply you work for us and that is that and what life you have outside of us isn't our problem.

sometimes quiet, but also rushed off feet at busiest times, long hours on feet.
Learnt a lot, people were always happy to help me learn. 
Management were good and understanding 
fun workplace, life long friends 
Customer complaints and anger and frustration. 
talking to customers, making friends, serving and having a laugh.
