CAREERS at eric lyons
At Eric Lyons, our people are at the heart of everything we do. From our butchery counters and farm‑shop style retail areas to our kitchen, bakery, and growing multi‑site operations, every member of the team plays a vital role in delivering the quality, service, and community spirit our business is known for. We’re a long‑established, family‑run company with big ambitions, and as we continue to grow, we’re always on the lookout for friendly, hard‑working foodies who want to be part of something special.
Company Culture
Working at Eric Lyons means joining a business built on craft, care, and tradition– but also one that’s constantly evolving. Whether you’re serving customers in-store, preparing food behind the scenes, or helping shape the future of our retail offering, you’ll be supported to learn, develop, and grow from day one. We don’t just offer jobs; we offer long-term careers for people who share our passion for great food and great service.
Our team includes butchers, chefs, retail roles, deli specialists, website & marketing managers, operations managers, drivers, apprentices and many more. Every role is important, and every person brings something unique to the business. If you’re reliable, friendly, and keen to learn, we can teach you the skills you need– whether that’s preparing meat, running a shop floor, preparing pies, or leading a team. Many of our team members begin in entry‑level positions and progress quickly as they grow in confidence and capability.
Progression Is Something We’re Genuinely Proud Of
We value loyalty, hard work, and a willingness to improve, and we invest in the people who invest in us. A great example of this is Jack Carpenter, who originally joined Eric Lyons as a Chef de Partie. Through dedication, training, and taking on new challenges, Jack completed a management apprenticeship and worked his way up to become the General Manager of the entire company– all within just six years. Stories like Jack’s aren’t rare here; they’re part of who we are. When you join our team, you’re joining a place where ambition is recognized and opportunity is real.
We offer a wide range of roles across the business, from retail and butchery to kitchen, production, delivery, management, and specialist food positions. For those wanting to learn a trade, we also offer Level 2 Butchery Apprenticeships & Level 3 Butchery Apprenticeships, giving new team members a chance to develop hands‑on skills while working in a supportive, practical environment. Whether you’re looking for your first job, a career change, or the next step up the ladder, there’s a place for you at Eric Lyons.
Alongside Progression, We Believe in Looking After Our Team
Our benefits include generous staff discounts, your birthday off every year, free uniform, paid holiday, regular staff outings, and a workplace culture where you’re treated with respect and encouraged to succeed. If you’re hardworking, positive, and enjoy working with food and people, we’d love to hear from you.
