Beaverbrook

Working at the Beaverbrook Hotel as a chef was, unfortunately, a highly negative experience for me. The workplace culture is alarmingly toxic, characterized by a pervasive lack of respect and care for the staff. Management practices were far from supportive, often bordering on neglectful, which significantly impacted my overall well-being and job satisfaction.

The environment felt extremely uninviting and hostile, making it difficult to express concerns or seek support. Opportunities for growth and learning were scarce, overshadowed by the management's disregard for employee welfare and professional development.

This lack of a nurturing and respectful atmosphere not only affects the morale of the team but also reflects poorly on the establishment's reputation as an employer. It's disheartening to see such potential for a positive and enriching workplace be so thoroughly undermined by these critical issues.

I would urge potential employees to consider these factors seriously before deciding to join the Beaverbrook Hotel. It's crucial to work in an environment that values your contributions and respects your hard work, and based on my experience, Beaverbrook falls disappointingly short of meeting these basic workplace standards.

Beaverbrook is a fantastic workplace. The team really have such a sense of comradery and there are so many characters that really make the Estate a special place to work. The General Manager and the Senior Leadership Team are excellent and approachable. Plus, it's also great to see hands-on Directors.
A positive 'can do' attitude is required and strong work ethic needed because everyone is striving to create a wonderful experience for guests from start to finish. 
Expect a fast-paced environment due to the required delivery of high standards associated with a luxury establishment. Professional attitude, processes and conduct are expected which some team members can find challenging but I found that help is provided. 
Due to the ongoing and planned growth of the Beaverbrook brand, the potential experience is high and new projects are really exciting for the team.  
My favourite aspect of working at Beaverbrook is that no day is the same and there are always problems to solve as a team. In terms of career progression, it's a great place to make your own opportunities and the management team are eager to invest in learning and cross-exposure should you wish to gain experience.

Having recently joined the Beaverbrook team I am lucky to be part of a team that cares just as much about their staff as they do their guests.  I’ve really noticed the effort and care that is put into staff wellbeing and the work done to continually improve the workplace environment.  Each team (within the property) are friendly and welcoming and all willing to help you learn as much as you can.  Guidance and support is given by management and it’s been really encouraging to received positive feedback from the whole team when deserved.  Coming to work every day in a beautiful location in the countryside is an added bonus. As a fast-paced workplace with lots of room for creativity and development, I would highly recommend Beaverbrook as a truly unique, great place to work. 

I didn't learn anything whilst at Beaverbrook. I found the work monotonous, simplistic and unchallenging. There was a lot of carrying, lifting and wasting time going backwards and forwards trying to find materials and tools. I had to bring my own tools and PPE as non were supplied. I found the department disorganised, with very low morale. My manager was standoffish, deceitful, contemptuous and uninterested in me, my wellbeing or my progression as a new member of the team.
Most of the people who worked there seemed very nice, friendly, and welcoming. 

Beaverbrook has provided me with the flexibility to return to work and be a Mum.  The beautiful estate is growing and developing all the time and with great vision, I am excited and proud to be part of the journey.  The guest offering is superb and that is made possible by an amazing team of people who are dedicated and genuinely care.  

The company seem to be continuously looking for new benefits to offer employees and the staff events are brilliant.  If you like to be challenged, love hospitality, service and working in luxury environments it's a great place to work.

Since starting work again post Furlough, Beaverbrook has expanded my insight and knowledge into the world of Hospitality, challenging me everyday to become a better individual. This beautiful gem in the heart of Surrey gives you an opportunity to voice your opinion to help create a better working environment and company for yourself and your colleagues. It's a fast paced, fun and fantastic place to work.


Beaverbrook is a gem of a brand - abundance of opportunities for passionate hospitality professionals. Generous, supportive, empowering and fun! A dynamic environment for for those who believe they can make a difference. Best way is to visit and see the team in action

I've seen people come and go but they are the ones that think they can go slow and not do any work.
