About Us

Here is just a little info to let you get to know us better...

History

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...


Front of house

Alisa

Manager

Alisa joined us in April as a Deputy Manager and in September she was promoted to Acting Manager. She's been working in hospitality for more than 7 years, starting as a waitress and working her way up to becoming a manager. She is very passionate about wine, she has been awarded with WSET Level 2 so don't hesitate to test her knowledge when you next see her in the Pub. When she's not looking after our lovely guests, in her free time she most enjoys travelling and experiencing different cuisines, running, and spending time with her family.

Stefan

Deputy Manager

Stefan is our Deputy Manager and has been working for the pub since summer 2021.

Stefan is very passionate about beer, and subsequently is the perfect person for the role when it comes to needing somebody to be in charge of all things beer at our pub. If you want to give us any suggestions, please do have a chat with Stefan, and in case you can't find him, he will be in our beer cellar.

Vlada

Supervisor

Joined the Parrot team at the end of 2025 as our new supervisor. Vlada has an extensive experience in hospitality. This includes mainly hotels, as well as restaurants in England and Ukraine. She is the one who looks after the flowers in our pub and pays close attention to details. In her free time she loves spending time in the countryside and workout.

George

Bar/Waiting

George is our newest crew member, having joined us in September 2026.

He's a big football fan and supports Arsenal, so if you want to have a chat about football and which team is really the best, he's your man.

Laura

Bar/Waiting

Laura has been working for Brunning and Price since 2019, and for the Parrot since 2021.

She loves to have a chat and, whilst not attending to her motherly duties, would preferably be found at a gig with a beer in hand!

Will

Bar/Waiting

Will joined us in 2024 and has just graduated from university.

When he's not behind the bar, he's usually out on the ski slopes or the golf course. He's one of the friendliest faces you'll see around the pub and always up for a good chat, so be sure to say hello next time you're in.

Amelia

Bar/Waiting

Amelia joined us in July 2022 and has recently graduated from university. A keen traveller, she’s already visited over 35 countries! Amelia knows the Parrot inside and out and is also well known for her impressive plate-balancing skills as she makes her way around the pub.

Freya

Bar/Waiting

Freya joined us in summer 2024, following in the footsteps of her older sister, who is also a much-valued member of our team.

Alongside working with us, Freya spent a year travelling around Australia and Europe, and is now heading into her second year at university. If you ever lose track of her around the pub, check with Tilly first — the pair are rarely found far apart!

Belle

Bar/Waiting

Belle joined us in August 2025 and is currently studying Psychology at university. She’s a keen traveller and has already explored Kenya, Australia and South East Asia.

If you’ve spotted any of the lovely chalkboards dotted around the pub, you’ll have seen some of Belle’s handiwork! She’s one of the creative minds behind the artwork that brings a little extra character to the Parrot.

Amy

Bar/Waiting

Amy joined the team in May 2025 and has just graduated from university.

In her spare time, she enjoys a night out with friends just as much as a cosy night in with a good book, so if you ever want to chat books, Amy will happily chat away to you about what she's reading, she's your go-to book girl!

Alfie

Bar/Waiting

Alfie joined us in August 2025 and is certainly one to keep you on your toes! Outside of the pub, he loves getting behind the decks and DJing, and always seems to be up to something — you never quite know what he’ll get up to next!

If you’ve come to the pub for a good laugh, a bit of banter and a chat, Alfie is definitely the man to talk to.

Jake

Bar/Waiting

Jake joined us in May 2025 and is currently at university studying Business. Outside of the pub, he loves nothing more than a round of golf — especially when there’s a win involved! He’s also a keen skier and loves to travel whenever he gets the chance.

You’ll often find Jake around the bar, whether he’s behind it at work or enjoying a drink on the other side of it!

Izzie

Bar/Waiting

Izzie joined us in January 2026 after travelling through Colombia and Africa. She's currently studying at university, but when she's not busy with her degree, you'll often find her behind the coffee machine, making coffees for our customers, and she's pretty good at it too! So next time you're in, be sure to say hello and let Izzie make you a coffee.

Anna

Bar/Waiting

Anna joined us in 2020 and is currently our youngest member of staff. Alongside working with us at the Parrot, she’s also balancing her college studies - no small feat! She’s another friendly face you’ll often see helping us out during our busy weekends here at the Parrot.

Annalie

Bar/Waiting

Annalie joined us in summer 2022 as a full-time member of crew in her gap year. Since then, she has begun a marketing degree at uni, working with us throughout the holidays when she is home.

Just like a lot of our crew, Annalie is super passionate about Formula 1, and she also loves travelling the world.

If you want to talk cars or countries, she's the person to talk to!

Matilda

Bar/Waiting

Tilly joined us in summer 2024 and claims to be the superior Seaward sister, we'll let you be the judge of that! She's currently working with us whilst she applies to become a pilot, so get your flying questions in while you can. If you ever lose her around the pub, check with Freya first, as the two are inseparable!

Sam

Bar/Waiting

Sam has been part of the team for over two years and knows all there is to know when it comes to the bar! He’s an avid Formula 1 fan and likes to channel his inner Lewis Hamilton whenever he gets behind the wheel of a go-kart.

When he’s not working, you’ll often find Sam in the pub enjoying a pint of cider with his family. He’s always up for a chat and a laugh, so be sure to say hello next time you see him!

Izzy

Bar/Waiting

Izzy has been with us at The Parrot since the summer of 2021. After graduating from uni, Izzy decided to join us full time: we're very lucky to have her!

Izzy has spent a lot of time travelling, spending four months in Asia and Australia, and loves sharing her experiences with people. She is a friendly face that is always more than happy to answer any Parrot pub questions you may have.

Lucia

Bar/Waiting

Lucia has been part of the team since September 2021 and is an extremely valued member of the Parrot family. She knows everything there is to know about the pub and is always happy to share her knowledge!

Kitchen

Nic

Head Chef

Nic joined the crew at the Parrot in 2021 and from the start he impressed us with his impeccable skills and vast culinary knowledge. He's very passionate about cars, food, good wine and loves sunny holidays. When he's not cooking all those amazing dishes he adores spending time with his little one, Oscar.

Vlad

Sous Chef

Vlad has been working at the Parrot since the summer 2020 and has been working his way up through the kitchen to his current rank of Sous Chef. You’ll also maybe find him having a Peroni out front after work, making all our front of house crew laugh!
