💜 Thank you. It’s been said a lot over the past 18 months, but this one goes out to the Number 1 team in the #Hospitality industry, responsible for helping stand our business back up in challenging circumstances! So, in recognition of the heroic efforts of our teams, we announced a pay increase for our hourly-paid team members. The memory makers, guest wow-ers, meal creators and most importantly the heart and soul of our business. Pay increases will differ by role and department, with minimum pay rates set to increase by over 5%, and 30,000 of our people eligible for the rise. All our roles will now pay above the National Minimum Wage, and above the National Living Wage. 🗣️ Our CEO Alison Brittain said: “A huge thank you from me for everything you all do. I’m continually impressed by your commitment, camaraderie, and care for one another and what we stand for. Whatever comes our way, whatever challenges we face, and whatever success we gain – we make it together. That’s why you are at the heart of our business, and that’s why together, we are a winning team.”...Show more

When you join us at Whitbread, you’re becoming part of a business that welcomes career progression in whichever way you want to go. After all, career in hospitality can be as broad as you want to make it, as Latoya found when she wanted to mix things up after three years as a Kitchen Manager, to become a General Manager. “Within days of starting I had totally bought into the vision. Everyone seemed to speak this ‘Whitbread’ language – they had the same passions, and I was eager to be a part of it. “Becoming a GM was something I definitely wanted, but like nothing I had done before. How would I go from cooking steaks, to using a till and doing a safe check? I took a deep breath and a leap of faith. Together with my GM and ROM we agreed it would be useful for me to take the ‘Progressing into General Management' course. “The course itself was amazing! We met so many different people, built some great relationships and felt completely secure with the support structure. Nine months later I graduated and, three months after that, I was given my first appointment as a new General Manager."...Show more

Leaving school and entering the world of work for the first time is one of the biggest moments in someone’s life. And we want to help them make the right decision. We’re firm believers in apprenticeships. Not just for the structure, the training and the rewards that they can simultaneously offer. But for the softer skills you also get back. The people skills, the confidence, the motivation. And that’s really what our apprenticeships look to offer. Great opportunities, great nationally-recognised qualifications, great pay and great prospects. All in an environment that brings out the best in people – both professionally and personally.

Welcome Break

Our journey began in 1959, when Charles Forte joined forces with Blue Star Petroleum to create something truly pioneering. Just a year later, Welcome Break opened its very first service area at Newport Pagnell – a place designed to offer comfort and convenience to travellers on the move. Over the decades, we’ve evolved with the times, introducing new brands, fresh ideas, and innovative services to make every stop more than just a break. Our Keele site opened in 1963, warmly welcoming families and truck drivers as the motorway extended north. By 1969, London Gateway greeted travellers heading in and out of the capital, while Leicester Forest East, with its iconic bridge, had been charming visitors since 1966. Corley joined the journey in 1972. Together, these sites tell the story of a motorway network coming to life, each one a milestone in the history of travel, hospitality, and the simple pleasure of a well-timed stop along the way. Those early days feel almost cinematic now: silver‑service dining, bow‑tied waiters and full table service and with that, Newport Pagnell earned a quiet claim to fame as the UK’s first motorway service station, a pioneering site that set the tone for comfort and care on Britain’s roads. In 1986, the original Newport Pagnell site took on its modern identity under the expanding Welcome Break brand. proof that a good idea can evolve without losing its heart. Welcome Break isn’t just about fuel and food, it's the warm moment in the middle of the miles. A place where journeys pause, families regroup, and memories are made. Wherever you’re headed, there’s always a Welcome Break waiting to make your journey a little brighter.
