Working in Kent

Kent's hospitality trade is spread across a string of distinct towns rather than one centre, which makes it unusually varied to work in. Canterbury's student and tourist footfall keeps its restaurants and bars busy year-round, Margate and Whitstable have drawn a wave of independent kitchens and coastal hotels, and Maidstone and Ashford carry the county's pub and high-street trade.

Because the work is distributed, chefs and front-of-house staff in Kent often move between towns rather than between employers in one city — a commute of twenty minutes can open up a very different set of kitchens. Summer on the coast is the peak, but the county hires across the year.
