Here is just a little info to let you get to know us better...
Here is little potted history of our pub and the local area... if you have a spare minute or two and maybe a cup of tea (or is that a G&T), we think it's well worth read.
If youd like to put a name to a face, allow us to introduce you to the crew...
Deputy Manager
A long-standing employee of nine years, many of you will Aaron from being behind the bar and on the floor. Aaron started his journey when he was 16 years old at 'The Bull' as a waiter, he then left to go to university, then came back to us where he has now progressed to be Deputy Manager, with aspirations with having his own pub one day.
In his spare time, Aaron likes to play video games with his friends and spend time with his friend Will, who also works here.
Assistant Manager
Will’s journey at the Bull started eight years ago when he joined us a waiter. He has now worked his way up to being an Assistant Manager.
In his spare time he likes to hang out with his friends and play video games. Will also spends time with his wife Hannah and their menagerie of animals; two dogs, two guinea pigs and bearded dragon.
Supervisor
Josh joins us from a background in hospitality. After studying theoretical physics, he's decided that the pub life is perfect for him, alongside a lovely pint of Hetton Pale!
Bar/Waiting
James has worked at the Bull for two years. If you know James, you know that he brings lots of laughter, fun and non-stop talk about his muscles and the Gym.
In his spare time you will catch James training to become a PT, cooking delicious food (sometimes he will bake and bring it in for the Bull crew) and of course fishing, where he loves spending quality time with his dad.
Bar/Waiting
Skye has been with us for nearly a year, she's preparing for university next year to study business management, we love having Skye on shift to brighten everyone's day with lovely smiles and her bubbly personality.
She loves to talk about her beloved pet hamster who she loves very much.
Bar/Waiting
One of our newest members of 'The Bull Crew' Lauren has been here for nearly three months. Already she is bringing laughter, smiles and jazz hands to the pub. Lauren studied performance arts at college and when she’s not at the Bull you will catch Lauren as an elf, fairy or a princess at various mascot and princess parties.
In her spare time Lauren and her two labradoodles, called Wilma and Margot, love walking in the countryside and hanging out with her friends
Bar/Waiting
Beth has been with us at the Bull for two years now. She did fancy a gap year after her exams but decided to study at Nottingham University, reading Spanish and International media communications.
In her spare time you will catch Beth playing netball, socialising with her friends (one of them being Darcy) and taking her beloved dog treacle the cocker spaniel out on country walks
Bar/Waiting
Darcy has been with us for two years. She is now at Newcastle University studying politics whilst socialising with her new uni friends and playing netball in her spare time.
She also brightens everyone’s day with a lovely smile.
Head Chef
Andy heads up the chef team, having worked for B&P for a very impressive 25 years. Having led the Corn Mill, Fox and Wharf kitchens for several years, he is used to what we like to call 'extreme catering'. When pressure allows you'll find Andy topping up his tan at his house in Spain or cheering on his beloved Leeds United at Elland Road.
Sous Chef
Shaun started with us at the beginning of Summer 2018 and brings experience and a calming influence to the kitchen team. He has slotted straight into life here and having worked with several of the team before felt right at home. He does have a playful and mischievous side, however with Mrs Griffin working front of house she manages to keep him in check.
Chef de Partie
Nathan has been with us for almost four years, he started his journey as a Kitchen Porter and has worked his way up to being a chef de Partie with aspirations of being a sous chef and you can always count on Nathan to bring laughter and lots of energy to the kitchen.
In his spare time you can catch him watching Formula One and going to watch England play cricket.
Senior Chef de Partie
Kerry has been with us for 4 years, she is now a senior chef de partie and she has aspirations of being a sous chef. You will catch Kerrie bringing in all the smiles and laughter in the kitchen.
In her own time you’ll see her either clay pigeon shooting, listening to Pink Floyd in her Doc Martens or visiting various zoos with her partner Maxine, next year they hope to be visiting Europe’s largest zoo in Berlin.
