About Metropolitan Pub Company

Restaurants
501-1000

We're Metropolitan Pub Company (or Metro Pub Co for short). You've probably never heard of us as a collective but that's the way we like it! Our pubs are unique and individual and we wouldn't want them to feel any other way. We're massive advocates of local pubs being just that, local, with their own character and charm.

We have around 60 "urban locals" where we are proud to create warm and friendly places our guests don't want to leave and teams who feel exactly the same.

Here at Metro Pub Company, our mission is simple - we want this to be the best place you've ever worked.

Our teams are at the forefront of that mission; helping us to deliver amazing environments our guests don't want to leave.

Our pubs and our people have so much in common; individual, strong characters, local, independent and simply the best! Like any family, we're protective over who we let into our fold – we only want the crème de la crème for our precious MPCo but we're always looking to expand the family so take a look at our vacancies or get in touch directly with Sarah our Recruitment Manager. We know we're super lucky as we get to choose our family – we're relaxed if you don't have the right kind of experience – we recruit people not CV's.

So what's in it for you?

When you walk through our doors, we want you to feel as though you're at home. You're free to bring all that is your wonderful self into our pubs and in return, we will reward you with the opportunity to progress and develop as far as your imagination sees fit. We have a cracking Apprenticeship programme if that's your thing and we're happy to set you up and watch you fly!

We offer competitive rates of pay and great discounts including 33% off all Metro and Greene King pubs and heavily discounted stays in our hotels.
