Hemel Hempstead, 12 August 2025 - Butlin’s, the Home of Entertainment, has today opened a brand-new Chopstix, the UK’s leading Chinese inspired brand, at its Skegness resort in time for the busy summer holidays.
The new Chopstix is the first of its kind, as the award-winning Asian food brand has launched its first ‘small box’ concept store at the Lincolnshire resort.
18 full time jobs have been created to deliver high quality food and an excellent guest experience at Chopstix. The roles are fit for a range of experience levels, with the new jobs including manager, commis chef and front of house team member positions.
Chopstix’s opening has also added new Team Member Plus roles, where team members will work across different departments at the resort, earning £13.21 per hour. In the Chopstix Team Member Plus role, team members will work as part of the front of house team at the new food destination and support the accommodation cleaning team on Mondays and Fridays.

Open from lunch to late at night, the new food destination is located close to the popular entertainment venue, Reds. Available for guests to enjoy on family breaks, Big Weekenders and day visits, Chopstix is the perfect place to stop and refuel during a busy day or ahead of a night of partying.
Ensuring there’s something for everyone’s daytime and nighttime cravings, Chopstix is bringing its Bold Chinese Flavours to guests, offering a huge variety of great value, quality meal choices, from plant-based and low-calorie dishes to meal deals and family bundles. The new food offering adds to the exciting range of food options already available at the resort, including Papa Johns and Burger King.
Chopstix is set to become hugely popular with guests and is the first new opening at the Skegness resort in 2025. In 2024, the resort opened 128 Premium Lodges in the Maple Walk village, which followed the opening of the first SKYPARK in 2023, the UK’s most exciting playground, designed to be truly inclusive and interactive for children of all abilities.
Andrew Leivers, Resort Director at Butlin’s Skegness, said: “After the huge success of Chopstix at the Bognor Regis and Minehead resorts, we’re delighted to have opened a new food destination in Skegness, just in time for summer. Guests on our family and Big Weekender breaks now have even more options for great value and quality food with plenty of Asian-inspired flavours. There’s something for everyone, whether guests are looking to refuel during a jam-packed day or treating themselves to a late-night snack.
“The investment in Chopstix at the resort is not only important for our guests, offering more exciting food choices during their stay, but this new opening has also created 18 new jobs at the resort.”
