Equality, Diversity & Inclusion

At The Milk Thistle, we believe everyone deserves to feel welcome, respected and valued.

We’re committed to creating an inclusive environment for our team, our guests and everyone we work with. We recognise that different backgrounds, experiences and perspectives make our workplace stronger and contribute to the hospitality we’re proud to offer.

Equal Opportunities

The Milk Thistle is committed to providing fair and equal opportunities in recruitment, employment, training and career development.

We do not tolerate unlawful discrimination on the grounds of age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage or civil partnership, pregnancy or maternity, race (including colour, nationality and ethnic or national origin), religion or belief, sex or sexual orientation.

We make employment decisions based on relevant skills, experience, abilities and the requirements of the role.

Respect in the Workplace

We are committed to maintaining a working environment where everyone is treated with dignity and respect.

Bullying, harassment, sexual harassment, victimisation and discriminatory behaviour have no place at The Milk Thistle.

We encourage open communication and expect everyone in our team to contribute to a positive, supportive and respectful workplace.

Supporting Our Team

We recognise that individuals have different needs and circumstances. We aim to provide appropriate support and reasonable adjustments for disabled employees and job applicants, in line with our legal obligations.

We want everyone who works with us to feel comfortable being themselves and to have a fair opportunity to develop and succeed.

Welcoming Everyone

Our commitment to equality and inclusion extends to our guests, suppliers and visitors.

We want The Milk Thistle to be a place where people from all backgrounds feel welcome and can enjoy their experience without discrimination or harassment.

We expect our team and guests to treat one another with courtesy and respect.

Our Commitment

Equality, diversity and inclusion are ongoing responsibilities. We are committed to listening, learning and reviewing our approach to ensure The Milk Thistle remains a welcoming and respectful place to work and visit.
