9a. Would you recommend Mitchells & Butlers to a friend?

Yes

9b. Why?

I would say yes and no. There’s lots of day to day things I disagree with within m&b but these courses are great. I do feel that the skills we learn push us away from the company and into smaller and fresher kitchen as m&b don’t do fresh in any brands

10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Mitchells & Butlers?

There’s a lot of opportunity within the company as it is so big but it’s very different to the hospitality industry overall
