A chain of large holiday camps in the United Kingdom. Butlins was founded by Billy Butlin to provide affordable holidays for ordinary British families in Skegness.

Butlins is one of the most recognised brands in the UK holiday market, offering short breaks all year round at three great British seaside resorts. Our founder, Sir Billy Butlin, opened his first resort in Skegness in 1936. Right from the start his aim was to bring colour and happiness to the lives of the nations’ hard working families.

To fulfil this promise to his guests, he knew there should be ‘someone to look after them always’. So, our famous Redcoats were born, welcoming guests with a friendly smile, easing them into their holiday mood with a helping hand and a cheery word. To this day, our Redcoats take centre stage, but we believe everyone on the Butlins team should share this sunny disposition; a ‘nothing’s too much trouble’ attitude aimed at relaxing our guests and making them feel cared for.

Our three resorts in Bognor Regis, Minehead and Skegness attract over 1.5 million guests every year, with many guests returning year after year. We know it’s our teams true intent to delight that brings them back. This is why we make it our top priority to hire the right attitude; those with natural ability to ‘host’ regardless of their role within the business.

We roast coffee and blend tea in our roastery in uphill Lincoln.

We have three Lincoln cafés - Collection, Lawn and High Bridge, which serve food and our signature teas and coffees. We have been running since 1902. We are based at The Lawn, Union Road, Lincoln. 

The most unusual job probably belongs to Mike, our head roaster.

Our shop and butchery offer the full range and we are proud to support over 45 Lincolnshire producers; our local food heroes! We see ourselves as a hub of local food and an outlet for local food businesses to showcase their product. 
We produce and make many of the products that we sell ourselves and we’re always developing new lines to add to our range. All of our pork is home reared and we buy in beef, lamb & poultry locally and butcher it ourselves. Our butchery team cure our own bacon and ham and produce many added value cuts and products including our BBC One Show Award Winning Lincolnshire Sausage.

All of our efforts would not be possible without our dedicated team who are local people themselves and are essential to our business success. 
We recruit people who are passionate about food and our business. Over the years, we have established managers of the three core budget departments; shop, café and butchery.

These give member of the team hours that they are comfortable working and benefit the business through acquiring a flexible workforce that can respond to periods of high customer demand.  Our young weekend team are a valuable part of the business and are expected to take a high degree of responsibility whilst benefiting by building up key life skills.

We invest in their training and development and make Uncle Henry’s an enjoyable place to work. Training requirements are tailored to the individual at management level and our front of house team have an on-going customer service development training programme. 
Aside from staff training around our customer care requirements, we hold a team brief each morning to discuss any previous challenges and what’s happening throughout the day ahead. We are continually building staff product knowledge and are helped by suppliers coming into store for samplings. 
We also have our own monthly mystery shopper which is an invaluable tool for continuous training and development and provides a great opportunity to reward good service.

Our plan for this year, in order to grow our business further, is to focus on continuing to attract both new and also our regular loyal customers but also to promote the great value of our fantastic food offer to our customers. We are continuing to grow our image as a destination for all age groups and working with key partners such as Visit Lincoln over the past year is a key element in our strategic planning process as we continually work on achieving this.

Throughout time the boar has been a potent symbol of courage and prowess to many cultures around the world. So all in all, we thought it would fit nicely as the name for our restaurant.

We hand pick and train our staff to support us in ensuring that you are welcome in our unique restaurant, enjoy quality service and savour our dishes in a relaxed atmosphere.

Our meats and vegetables are sourced locally, our fish comes from renewable sources and from the British shores whenever feasible. Our choice of wines is based on the recommendation of a sommelier to offer choices from the old world and a couple from the new world that would enhance our dishes.
