About Us

Bethany Evans

Manager

Beth’s been with the Oakley since day one, back in 2016. She started out as Assistant Manager and worked her way up to General Manager—basically, she runs the show now!

Born and bred in Bishop’s Wood (just up the road), Beth’s a local through and through. When she’s not holding things down at the pub, you’ll probably find her in another one, singing with her two aunties as part of their fun little trio. And when she’s not doing that, she’s hanging out with her big (and we mean big) family of nine.

Ted

Trainee Assistant Manager

Meet Ted – one of the legends on our team who’s been with B&P for two fun-filled years. He kicked things off at the Mytton and Mermaid, made a splash, and has been keeping spirits high ever since. His drink of choice? An ice-cold Asahi. But don’t be fooled — he’s also partial to a fruity cocktail when the mood strikes (umbrellas optional). When he’s off the clock, Ted’s all about keeping active... or at least trying to. You’ll catch him throwing darts, chasing footballs, or hacking his way around the golf course (badly, but with great enthusiasm). When he’s not on the move, he’s winding down with a bit of fishing or sharing a glass of wine with his mum — a tradition he proudly owns and absolutely recommends.

Whether he’s cracking a joke, mixing a drink, or just bringing good vibes to the team, Ted’s the kind of guy who makes every shift a little bit better.

Ang

Supervisor

Angela has been with us since July 2016, joining shortly after we first opened our doors. A true team player and hard worker, she’s always ready to lend a hand wherever it’s needed. A proud local, Ang has lived just up the road in Bishopswood for most of her life. When she’s not enjoying a well-earned cider at the pub, you’ll likely spot her out walking her beloved dogs, Jasper and Holly. In her spare time, she keeps active with regular Zumba classes — dancing her way around the village hall with energy and enthusiasm.

Evie

Supervisor

Evie joined us in 2023 and, as a local girl through and through, it didn’t take long for her to feel right at home. She briefly ventured over to our sister pub, the Hand & Trumpet, while studying marketing at uni, but she couldn’t stay away for long. Cool, calm, and collected under pressure (but never afraid to roll up her sleeves), Evie brings a creative spark to the team. She’s got a real passion for all things marketing, is a whiz on social media, and snaps an incredible photo to boot. Outside of work, Evie’s been dancing since she was little, loves watching F1, and dreams of one day affording some very cool cars. When the shift's done, you’ll find her with her friends, glass of Vinho Verde in hand, and always up for a good bottle-up.

Toby

Chef de Partie

Toby is young, hungry, and full of enthusiasm- just kicking off his cheffing career with some serious drive. He started with us as a Kitchen Porter while studying culinary arts at University College Birmingham, and since then he's been sharpening his skills in pubs and restaurants across London and the UK. Toby’s all about the finer side of food, and it shows. He represented us in the company’s Junior Chef competition, where he wowed everyone with a standout monkfish dish, bringing real flair and passion to the plate.

When he’s not in the kitchen, you’ll likely find him winding down with a Guinness in hand… unless he’s in the mood for something a little fancier, he’s got a soft spot for a good Pinot Noir.
