About Us

Stuart

Manager

Stuart is a B & P veteran having started out as Deputy Manager at the Pant in 2012. In order to gain more experience he decided to head out onto the roving circuit; 20+ pubs later he took up a permanent role as manager at the Rowbarge, Woolhampton. With a long-term goal of moving back to the North in mind, Stuart took one step closer by taking up the reins of the Falcon in Warmington. This was short lived however, as an opportunity to return to Bunbury, the village Stuart grew up in, to manage the Dysart arose.

We are fortunate here at the Mytton & Mermaid that Stuart loves a good challenge, as when offered the chance to be part of the restoration of our beautiful pub he just couldn't resist. Stuart, his fiancée, Jem, their two young children, Alfie and Poppy and not forgetting dog, Biscuit now reside locally and are very much enjoying exploring the wonderful county of Shropshire. They assure us this is their last move!

Em

Emerson started working for B&P in 2017 at the Inn at Shipley, loving the job he decided to stay within the company throughout his time at university studying nutrition, moving over to the Wharf where his confidence grew, turning him into the man he is today. Emerson joined the Oakley in June 2021 after lockdown where he took the management position in his stride. Since then he has now moved up and joined us at the Mytton as Deputy Manager. In his spare time you'll find him at the golf course or having a pint with his mates at the local pub.
