Great experience!
I had an amazing experience through the UK Pub Company being placed in an awesome bar in Central London. The UK Pub Company made my move to London super easy and I feel like I saved a lot of time by being given a job and a place to live before I even arrived in London. Their responses were very quick via email and they made everything simple, quick and easy to complete.

Well worth it
I was nervous to move abroad, and knew I wanted to come to the UK with everything sorted (accommodation, bank account, work) before leaving Australia. UKPubCo were amazing in ensuring this was all sorted - with little effort needed from me to be honest. The transition to the UK was made so much easier through the company and I wouldn't be in the place I am, literally, without them. On a practical level, I dealt with Nick and Mark who were both incredible - no question of mine was too strange and the communication has been fantastic. Obviously, I couldn't recommend them enough.

Thank you UK Pub Co
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!

Super Easy and helpful!
The guys at the UK Pub Co make moving to the UK a breeze! From the minute I submitted my application to the time I got on the plane I felt they had everything covered.
After a quick chat with the team over the phone, I was walked through the application process and had the chance to give them my job and location preferences. A little over a month later I got an offer matching my exact choice. Literally as easy as that!
They helped me through the process of getting my bank account and National Insurance number sorted and I received my touch down pack within a few days of confirming my offer which had a sim card, lonely planet guide and other helpful stuff in it. Can't recommend these guys enough for the big move to the UK!!

great experience
I went through UK Pub Co in 2018 for a job placement, they were super helpful regarding visas, living situations, bank accounts, anything you can think of they can point you in the right direction. Although the pub I was put in didn't suit my needs, they were really helpful in sorting out other alternatives and I'll be using them again when I return to the UK in 2020!

This is your que to move!!!!
From it being an idea in my mind to actually stepping off the plane, the ukpubco made the decision to move to the uk a no brainer, all you have to do is say yes. They try their absolute hardest to place you near or where you want to be which again makes moving over here so much easier. The team is helpful and approachable so if you have any qualms or queries it really does help being able to talk to one of the team and get things sorted ASAP. Another good thing about the ukpubco is that you can use them again and again which is brilliant so you...Read more
don’t come unstuck once you’ve done a bit of travelling! The ukpubco have helped me out a lot since being over here and if anyone needs that final push to get them to get amongst it, this is it! Drop your things and get yourself to the uk and let the ukpubco do their thing!!!Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!
A Great Experience!
I had a great experience with the UK pub Co. When I arrived in London I decided to sign up and within 6 days I have been placed at an amazing pub in Central London. Gregory was an amazing help and he was very efficient when corresponding with me, I definitely wouldn’t have been able to find a job so fast without his help! I recommend the UK pub co to anyone who needs assistance finding a job, I can’t fault them. Thanks UK pub Co!!

dont bother
Arranged for my job to be in London or as close as possible, not long from when i was meant to start i was provided with my placement 3-4 hrs out with no transport and basically in the middle of nowhere with nowhere to get out. declined as i was allowed to, second option came in further out and i rejected, then i received an email asking why im rejecting these amazing places, advised because its basically in the the middle of nowhere. i heard of all these amazing places when i signed up but got offered crap. Then it seemed to go nowhere i got n...Read more

Quick placement
I used UK Pub Co twice during my time in England. Both times I was able to step straight into a job on short notice with great hours and cheap accommodation. Scott was also able to help with applying for a bank account and National Insurance. Great service if you don't have the time to plan everything yourself.

Placement Problem Resolution
I opted for UK Pub Co for my 18 year old daughter's gap year experience because I thought it would guarantee a placement in a pub with a proven decent work environment. Instead she got a bullying and abusive manager. UK Pub Co however have supported her in finding another placement, which has demonstrated that they do look after the client

Worth it
We have had a great experience with the London Pub Company, we managed to score a job on a golf course before we left Australia. It was an amazing feeling to have a job and accomodation organised before we left the UK, we were able to spend time in London and move into our accommodation days before we started. Everything on the job offer was accurate and we were lucky enough to work in the most beautiful area and experience the english country life.
We had our own flat to ourselves, which we have heard is very lucky compared with some accommo...Read more

Great for Experiencing England
If you're looking to be a tourist, I wouldn't recommend it. It you're looking to experience England more as a local I'd say go for it.
Contacted UK Pubs as I had no background in serving and had they said experience wasn't an issue. I met with a representative in person who explained the process and what the organization had to offer. I was told up front that a placement in London was unlikely as it's expensive to live, thus it's difficult to find low rent and recoup the money from traveling. Options were given for how rural you are will...Read more
ing to work and again it's made quite clear that the more open you are the easier it is to be placed. I promptly received a job offer, which is provided to you with an outline of the closest train, grocery, the expected hours, wage, and cost of accommodations as well as any added amenities like wifi and kitchen. After the location is agreed to, contact is arraigned via phone, email, or Skype with the manager of the pub and you get a brief interview. I got the amazing experience of working in Hawkshead, Cumbria a small village in the heart of the Lake District. I made amazing friends with the locals and was able to save money for my travels in the 4 months I stayed and worked there. There were a few issues with the pub not meeting what was outlined but I let it slide as the experience was beautiful. I did not inform UK Pubs until after my time was done so cannot comment on how they would have responded. I would say it feels expensive when you don't get what you agreed to...but if I had looked for a job on my own I never would have found Hawkshead.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Do Not Give Your Money To These Scam Artists London Pub Co / Uk Pub Co
I traveled to the UK April 2010 as a 21yo who had never traveled before.
When booking my flights through STA travel, they introduced me to The London Pub Company (now The UK Pub Co.), with bit of a spiel about how hard it is to find work in the UK and these guys give you peace of mind.
The deal is that YOU pay a placement fee, at the time it was $600, and they will find you a live-in job in a London pub before you even arrive. They pretty much guarantee it, the line I received was 'we've never failed to place someone'. Sounds like a goo...Read more
d deal ey? No worrying about finding work or housing? Well it's a complete rip off. Even though you're told you don't need experience, the first phone call I received after signing up was TLPC saying 'as you don't have any experience, you may be a little outside of London, as the central pubs want experienced staff.' I'd never been to London, so a little outside of it didn't mean much to me. BAM! Ended up in Wargrave, middle-of-nowhere UK, 30 mins outside of READING. There wasn't even a supermarket in the town.1 comment

Hi Louise,
We've only recently taken over the UK Pub Co in the past week or so, but I feel its important to at least reach out and acknowledge this review (tbh I am astounded why it wasn't attended to earlier)!... Read more
Anyway, I know it means very little now, but I wanted to assure you that under our control, there is going to be a huge focus on the placement partners who engage our services and the offerings they provide our participants with. Naturally then, this page will be full of positive reviews :-) You will also be pleased to know that our team are all full-time, paid staff -- there is no sales commission (full-stop) within the business! Again, apologies on behalf of the former regime that this wasn't acknowledged - I look forward to improving the UK Pub Co experience for others moving forward. Nick - (the new) MD.Similar opinion?

Be very careful
London Pub Company and other similar agencies will place you in a live-in pub job in England on arrival. At a cost of $800, you expect excellent service and the chance to recoup your outlay (remembering that wages are about $10 - $12 per hour in a pub).
If something goes wrong (eg the pub management is poor, the pub is filthy - or anything happens which requires you to abandon the job) do not expect to be placed easily second time round. You will be placed if you are a bubbly and good worker. But if there is anything about you which a p...Read more
ub manager is likely to dislike, or if the pub has expressed doubts about you, then the chances of you being given a second chance are low, as the pub company needs to maintain their reputation, and it involves extra work to find you something. If you are an attractive proposition for a pub, you don't need these agencies. If you are not such a "catch", then expect to possibly lose your money. They are supposed to screen you first by phone, but they are more interested in taking your money even if you sound dubious. If you end up feeling you have been given a raw deal, then contact your State's Consumer Affairs agency, or the Victorian one. Don't give up.2 comments
They will give you the name of Elements Catering company for ad hoc work (not live-in) if you miss out on your first offering. Really, do NOT expect them to put effort into a second go for you. Your... Read more
name might be given to a few pubs, but no guarantee you'll be chosen. This is a bad news proposition. If you complain a lot, they might give you back $200. Go the the State consumer affairs whatever, AND DON'T GIVE UP.Nick - MD M.The UK Pub Co.
