Working at The Tom Kerridge Group
Culture, Progression and Length of Service
We are a proud family of over 200 pirates, and each member of the team is key to making the business as successful as it is today.
We want our pirates to feel fulfilled and challenged at work with a clear line of progression. Some of our team have been with us for nearly 20 years and several for over a decade, which makes us happy.
We like to promote from within and nurture talent so that you can be the best you can be. Our culture is supportive and we actively embrace and encourage equality and diversity.
Our Values
Passion: We strongly believe in everything we do and passion sits at the heart of the Tom Kerridge Group. It drives us forward, creates our focus and energises our commitment.
Quality: Whatever we do we strive to do it well, we never settle for anything less than excellence. We take pride in our ability to offer nothing but the best.
Simplicity: To be simple is to be focused. We don’t overcomplicate, we strive for clarity and consistency and make decisions quickly and pragmatically and focus on what’s important.
Teamwork: Together we are stronger. The strength in our team does not only lie in our combined experience and expertise, but in our ability to trust each other no matter what the circumstances.
Charities
Meals from Marlow
Meals from Marlow was created at the start of Lockdown to provide support for Key workers and those in need both in Marlow and surrounding towns during the pandemic.
The scheme has so far provided over 100,000 meals, by working with the NHS and many community organisations both within Marlow, High Wycombe, Slough, Maidenhead and other local areas.
The project is now being formalised as a permanent charity to provide support for those in need in the region. We plan to continue to work closely with local organisations and charities to ensure that the meals produced find their way to those most in need, relying on our partners' experience and expertise to support our neighbours each and every week.

Little Discoveries
In February 2021 Tom announced his participation in creating short films with Save the Children UK and Discovery RISE called Little Discoveries, raising awareness and funds for those most in need during the pandemic; the kids💛
When COVID-19 hit, Save the Children worked closely with communities to establish families’ greatest needs. They found that school closures, job losses and economic hardship posed a severe threat to children’s learning – especially for families already living on low incomes.
Tom is helping by creating short cooking videos with Discovery called ‘Little Discoveries’ which aims to get kids cooking some simple but delicious meals at home. There are other videos available in the ‘Little Discoveries’ series each presented by an expert host who will show you some fun family-friendly activities we can all do indoors.

Full Time Meals
Marcus Rashford and Tom Kerridge are proud and excited to announce the launch of our ‘Full Time’ campaign, supported by Facebook and Instagram.
Marcus has been doing a phenomenal job in shining a bright light on the nation’s child poverty issue and continues to fight for systematic change and Government support. His formation of the Child Food Poverty Taskforce has brought together the biggest players in the British food industry, to stand united in finding a long-term sustainable framework to combat child food poverty across the UK.
This is a cause that is close to Tom's heart. Whilst Marcus and Tom are from different generations, they share a lot of similarities in their journey to success. Tom also grew up in a single parent household on a council estate, his mum worked 2 jobs and, although he never went without food, times were difficult, and money was tight.
It’s heart breaking to think that 4.2 million children in the UK are living in poverty, no child should go to bed hungry but today, far too many do. We live in the third largest economy in the world – it’s time to call full time on child food poverty.
Our people are the most important part of our business. At the end of the day, we couldn’t create our amazing guest experiences without each valued individual who helps make that happen!
