Very helpful and efficient

UK Pub Co made finding a job very easy and efficient. For a group of three, we understood there was going to be limited options in where we could work together. But they provided us with lots of different options. It was personalised in that they cared and were curious in our preferences and what we were looking for in particular. They were also very helpful in setting up a bank account over there. They provide help with travel insurance and phone plans too. The pub we worked in was a great fit for us and we enjoyed our time. Overall would definitely recommend to anyone looking to work in hospitality in the UK.

I was very scared moving overseas and out of home for the first time, but the UK pub company really helped me with everything and made the transition over here so much easier. Very happy to go through these guys and would continuously ask these guys for help again. When my first job didn’t work out, they had secured another job for me within a couple of days which I was very happy about. They go above and beyond. Would recommended.

Uk pub co have really gone above and beyond, i received a job offer not more than a couple of weeks after I started the process. I was placed in Solihull at a busy, friendly gastro pub. I was there for just more than a year and even though in the beginning the work is tiring, making lifelong friends really makes the whole experience worth it. It will genuinely be one of the best years of your life. I managed to travel extensively while there as well as enjoy a healthy social life with fellow Aussies and local staff. I’m currently in the process of finding my 2nd job placement and Nick is so helpful and quick to respond to any of my messages. I’m looking forward to where Uk pub Co will place me next and I have no doubt it will be just as great.

Worth it!

My experience with UK Pub Co has been fantastic, their help and guidance in finding me a job ahead of my arrival really put my mind at ease as a first time traveller to England. They offer help in finding a job but also setting up bank accounts etc which takes the stress away. I was put in a great pub and have made life long friends, while being able to save money for adventures during my time off. I am currently in the process of a second application with UK Pub Co and am excited where I’ll be going next. Thanks guys!

Rated 1 out of 5 stars

do your research

Was sent to a pub where bullying was rampant and experienced by all. Sworn and screamed at by owners daily,made fun of for my sexuality, groped by customers, underpaid, made to live in filthy accomodation where employers entered private bedrooms. When an emergency occurred I recieved no help for 2 weeks despite begging uk pub co and contacting several times. it took my family harrassing the company via phone for anything to be done about my situation. Overall, make sure you look into where you are being sent. EDIT- glad to see change has been made!

Hi Annie,
Thank you for raising your issues.
I see that you reached out in early 2019 regarding some assistance following your initial placement (note we do not work with that establishment any more; see below below).
I see that our then placement manager reached out and offered you an alternative placement for the date which you were returning to the UK which you declined (which is understandable).
Since July 2019, we now operate under new management and have an entirely new team; all of whom have lived and worked in the UK at a young age. We've very recently returned from an "inspection" tour of the UK visiting a good number of our placements and decided employers under the old management are not the type of establishments we would like to associate with (for various reasons). We've made a conscious effort of focusing on quality and not quantity of placements.
Whilst we cannot change the past, the offer of a new placement - should you wish - still remains. Give us a call; we're happy to chat. Nick

My Experience with the UK Pub Co.

I was lucky enough to stumble across a flyer in a window about the opportunity to work and live in the UK organised by the UK Pub Co, I really needed a lot of support and to be honest I needed things to be laid out step by step when it came to something as big as moving overseas but thankfully The UK Pub Co were absolutely perfect for the job!

They were so helpful from day one and they offered so many great services for the visa set up that was honestly so easy for me, I felt so comfortable and that I could rely on them for help, everything from pre departure job security to accommodation they took all the hassles off my shoulders! a very professional and well established business I would have no doubt going with again.

Our UK Pub Co experience was excellent!

We used UK Pub Co for my 18 year old son to go and live and work in the UK when he finished school. We had never been to the UK and knew nothing about it. He was going over there knowing no one with no family or friends to rely on which was pretty daunting. UK Pub Co made the whole process quite simple. Their communication was excellent. We knew what was happening every step of the way. We asked a lot of questions and they were always answered quickly and we weren't made to feel like it was a silly question. I felt like we were in great hands all the way through the process and I have since recommended these guys to lots of friends. Would definitely use them again.

Couldn’t recommend UK pub co enough

Its so easy and hassle free. All you’ve gotta do is send them your resume and they’ll find a job and accommodation for you. Best of all they make sure you’re happy with your placement if not they’ll help you find something better. Amazing

Easy and Stress Free!

This has been such an easy and stress free experience. I sent Nick my resume and within a few days I had an offer from a pub in the heart of London, what more could you want! I highly recommend using UKPUBCO especially if this is your first time travelling to the UK. Can’t wait to start my new placement in November!!!! Thanks again Nick :)

DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME

DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME! Firstly I booked a phone appointment to request information about UK Pub co and they never called at the allocated appointment time. I then sent them an email requesting information as well as trying to call the UK branch several times once leaving a message with my contact details and never received anything back. I then proceeded to apply online which took a lot of time and effort and was booked for another phone interview. Again they never called for the interview. Finally I get an email over 24hrs later saying that I missed my phone appointment. I decided to go with another company (britbound) who actually know who to use a phone and a computer.

Appreciate your feedback here Maria. We've just moving across to a new operating system as we mentioned to you in our email correspondence. By doing so, it will improve our customers experience, reduce the programme costs (cheaper than "the other company") and ensure these situations do not arise.... Undoubtedly, there will be some teething issues - but as they say "Rome wasn't built in a day". Totally understand your frustration here, but happy to report the issues have been resolved by our tech-team. Best of luck with the other company and your UK working holiday.

A very smooth transition

I have used them a couple of times since landing in the uk and each time it’s been quick, easy and Gregory and Nick have been so helpful! If you are after something a little closer to London, Oxford etc, all you have to do is ask and they will try their hardest to make it happen, obviously it isn’t always possible but they definitely give it a good go! Moving over here is scary enough, let alone having to find a job and accom so they make it that much easier. Long story short, if you’re looking at doing this sort of thing, the ukpubco is the way to go!

A reliable company for a wonderful experience

The UK Pub Co has provided me with a unique experience and let me work to earn money and gain experience as well as take the time I want to to travel around the UK. They were reliable in finding me my first placement and organising my travel details, set me up with a company to help with my visa, handled my application well, and have cooperated will with all subsequent queries and requests. I feel the staff at the co truly care about what they do, and as a result I have not felt stranded or panicked despite being so far away from home. If you are planning on taking a working gap year in the UK, I would definitely recommend the UK Pub Co.
