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 you'd like to put a name to a face, allow us to introduce you to the crew...
Manager
What's Brunning & Price without Harkers, and what's Harkers without PJ? He's been here longer than most of the furniture. The life and soul of the party, wether it's yours or his. The only thing he loves more than his family, kite surfing and a top notch Bordeaux is a well-polished hand pump. Carlsberg don't make the ultimate landlord, but if they did...
Deputy Manager
Ben started working at Harkers way back in 2008, meaning that if it wasn't for a 15 year 'holiday' he'd have been here his entire adult life. During Ben's long vacation he ran a tapas bar, a sandwich shop, a waffle cafe and a couple of really nice pubs. Once he'd got that out of his system he finally saw sense and came back home!
Assistant Manager
Mark blessed us with his presence in the summer of 2022 when he came from The Celtic Arms, North Wales. When he's not pulling those pints, he's pushing the weights and stuffing his face with his protein pancakes. Beware if you order a bottle of red from Mark, before you know it you'll be several bottles of Amarone in before you realise what he's done. Top salesman!
Assistant Manager
Luke joined us from one of Chesters oldest music venues, Telfords, which also serves a cracking pint! So he has seamlessly slipped into the Harkers beer mad management team!
Assistant Manager
Harkers' resident party animal Kez joined us in spring 2026, having worked in some of London's top bars and restaurants. Outside of work, Kez loves nothing more than drinking rum, petting dogs and making people laugh, come to think of it, that's pretty much what he loves doing at work too!
Supervisor
Pint size Tehya joined our management team in May 2022. Don't be fooled, she can stand her ground especially dealing with the Chefs - a task in itself! When not behind the bar, you'll find Tehya relaxing with more than one, well deserved pint.
Head Chef
Andy is a doting father to his two young boys - or trainee chefs, if you will. His roast potatoes are the best around, and he is always cheery and handy to boost morale in the kitchen, especially when you put a check on for a three course dinner a minute before closing.
