Here is just a little info to let you get to know our pub 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.
Manager
Having spent many years running another Brunning and Price pub The Hare in Tunbridge Wells Rob is delighted to be back in the B&P family at The Clog, having spent time in Notting Hill in between. Rob likes nothing more than pulling pints and cracking bants behind the bar and is a real foodie at heart.
Deputy Manager
Our Patsy has been at The Clog for five years having previously helped run the catering operations at Stoke City and Blackburn Rovers football clubs, along with 5 years at Northcote Hotel. Her hospitality is legendary in these parts and having lived in Blackburn all her life it appears she officially knows everyone in a five mile radius of the pub. Her two lovely boys keep her busy when she is not working and she is partial to a rhubarb gin and tonic when she gets the time.
Assistant Manager
Never without a smile on her face, Beth is a Clog and Billycock girl to the bottom of her clogs, having joined on leaving school when she was 16. 5 years on our resident nanny, child performer, happy birthday specialist, and latte queen just loves making people happy. Beth runs a local rangers group with her mum and has 62 badges including tricky knots and sing along songs, and likes to go to the local kennels to hug puppies on her days off.
Supervisor
Emma is in her second stint at The Clog having recently returned from Australia where she picked Bananas for $22 per hour, a story we never get tired of hearing about. A singing, dancing, acting triple threat Emma also teaches dance, ballet, tap & modern jazz at the local school making her a quadruple threat on the dance floor. Bubbly, likeable and unflappable it has been great to have her back on the Clog stage.
Acting Head Chef
Chris was born in Germany whilst his Dad was stationed in the Air Force. Chris came to us having successfully ran the kitchen at another Brunning and Price pub, Old Hall in Sandbach for three years. He loves to spends his free time with his daughter, loves Bolton FC and has a strange affliction to the word bacon.
Chef de Partie
As well as honing his skills locally in some of the more renowned 'gastro' pubs in Lancashire, Rob is also very keen on his Am Dram. A key player with St Cuthbert's Amateur Dramatic and Operatic Society, he is most renowned for his roles of Prez in The Pajama Game and Lieutenant Cable in South Pacific. Burnley born and bred, the banter with the Blackburn lads is at times educational and occasionally in song.
Chef
Ebi has worked at the Clog and Billycock for over six years, and lovingly makes all our pies. A father of three, Ebi is a keen DIY'er and gardener and a wealth of knowledge to the chefs as he has been cooking for over 40 years. A true gentleman and a very popular member of the kitchen crew.
Kitchen Porter
Romanian Roberto has been a true god send since the day he arrived on our door step one day like Paddington Bear, with a suitcase and a smile asking for work. 18 months on his English has been sculpted by chefs so probably not quite ready to work behind the bar, but is a whizz in the kitchen. Nothing is ever too much trouble and he and Charlotte are our very own version of Statler & Waldorf
